The horror of it;: Camera records of war's gruesome glories; 💀 scary.co

This book of authenticated photographs is a hard-headed answer to the common charge made against the peacemakers that they are soft-headed idealists. No piece of strategy on the part of the militarists is more emotionally effective than their endeavor, often successful, to picture themselves as clear-sighted and realistic while the devotees of the peace movement are sentimental and visionary. This book says in effect that if the militarists want realism we will give it to them. Here is war not seen through the lenses of anybody’s prejudice but caught in the act by the camera. This is war’s plain, stark, ugly meaning. Back of the camouflage of uniform and music, oratory and popular cheering, this is the gist and essence of war at the point where it specifically operates. Let this book, then, do its quiet work. Let it say in scenes which did actually occur and will occur again, in forms more horrible if war returns, that war is a mad and barbarous business. (from the Foreword by Harry Emerson Fosdick)
