ABOUT
"The first casualty when war comes is truth," pronounced Hiram Johnson to the United States Senate in 1917. To test the validity of that remark, Phillip Knightley, a special correspondent for the London Times compiled an account of war correspondents in action from the past 120 years. It suggests that our attitudes toward history are molded by what we read in war-time and that what we read too often bears little resemblance to reality.
