Description
"From the dawn of time to the present, from the days of mammoth-hunting to the era of Scud-busting, pictures of war constitute the most persistent genre of images human beings have created. In fact, human beings are the only creatures who engage in these two activities - organized violence and the making of pictorial images - and the author shows how both art and war emerge from the same source: the hunter's eye.". "This book explores and analyzes the thirteen-thousand-year legacy of pictures of war from various cultures over the centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
