For five years, Meredith Davenport has photographed and interviewed
men who play live-action games based on contemporary conflicts,
such as a recreation of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden that took
place thousands of miles from the conflict zone on a campground in
Northern Virginia. Her images speak about the way that trauma and
conflict penetrate a culture sheltered from the horrors of war.
Bringing together a series of two dozen photographs with essays
discussing and analyzing the influence of the media, particularly
photographs and video, on the culture at large and how conflict is
"discussed" in the visual realm, "Theater of War" is a unique look
at the influence of contemporary conflict, and their omni-presence
in the media on popular culture. Written by an experienced
photojournalist who has covered a variety of human rights issues
worldwide, this book is an essential addition to the library of
anyone interested in the confluence of war and media.
