Reporting The World: John Pilger's Great Eyewitness Photographers
The close relationship between journalist and photographer is studied in this breathtaking selection of work by a wide range of photographers with whom John Pilger has worked or been inspired by.

Spanning 35 years, the book covers trouble spots in regional locations from South East Asia, Africa, South America to the USA and UK and Pilger praises the courage and integrity of the photographers in the face of warfare, political upheaval and tense circumstances.

John Pilger says: "In bringing together this selection my aim has been to show how great photographers are both story-tellers and truth-tellers going against the consensual versions of events, such as the illusions of 'booming' economies and 'smart' wars and the judgement of humanity as worthy and unworthy, sacrosanct or expendable, by great power."
