May 2011, Afghanistan: Camp Bastion is under attack, the Sun's Defence Editor is about to catch the wrong helicopter, and a famous TV war reporter is missing half his kit and wants his trainers back. Amid the chaos, Christian Hill is preparing to lead his Combat Camera Team on the British Army's first big operation of the Helmand summer, inching through the IED-riddled fields of the notorious Green Zone, very probably getting shot at. A captain in the Media Operations Group, his job is to promote the war to the British media - and make it look like things are under control and getting better...Funny, offbeat, shocking and affectionate, Combat Camera offers a unique insight into the military's media operations in Afghanistan. As coalition troops return home after years of fighting, it will appeal to anyone who wants to know whether our campaign against the Taliban has really been worth the effort.

Book Description
OVER THE TARGET... The movie camera in my hands was ready as we entered our run over the oil fields of Ploesti. Cracking towers, smokestacks, huge oil storage tanks and outbuildings almost scraped the Witch’s belly as we let go the incendiaries. Through the camera’s lens I saw a B-24 fly into a barrage balloon cable. The plane spun, corkscrewed to the ground and exploded. Beyond, I saw another smash into a smokestack and instantly dissolve into a fireball. The heat from the storage tank fires turned the Witch into an oven, searing my hair and eyebrows. I swung the camera to see planes crisscrossing, exploding in air, being swallowed up in the raging fires and curling black smoke. Ahead, four hundred deadly German fighters hovered high overhead—waiting for revenge.... This is the thrilling story of Sergeant Jerry Joswick, COMBAT CAMERAMAN Dodging bullets and bombs, he “shot” his way through some of the most savage fighting in World War II, taking memorable pictures of the terrible face of war— —in Africa, on a commando raid behind Rommel’s lines —on the disastrous Ploesti air raid, which he was the only cameraman of sixteen to survive —in the first wave of D-Day on Omaha Beach —in the Battle of the Bulge, where he traded camera for rifle to stay alive —parachuting into Germany with the Airborne Thrills, action, the shock of battle—and the determinate to get the picture, no matter what the danger—make COMBAT CAMERAMAN one of the most thrilling books to come out of the Second World War.

But when Sergeant T. J. Brennan was injured during a Taliban ambush, he and conflict photographer Finbarr O’Reilly returned home, each to face the fallout of war in their own way. Their friendship offered them both a shot at redemption. Shooting Ghosts looks at the horrors of war directly, but then turns to a journey that draws on our growing understanding of what recovery takes, charting the ways two survivors have found to calm the ghosts and reclaim a measure of peace.

Book Description
Fred Minnick spent more than a year in Iraq as a U.S. Army public affairs photojournalist, covering the good, bad and ugly sides of the conflict. With a Nikon in one hand and an M-16 in the other, he accompanied combat troops on missions ranging from raids on suspected terrorist strongholds to public relations events including the opening of a school for girls. Some of the stories made it back home, most did not.Camera Boy offers an eye-witness account of the Iraq War from a soldier with a different POV--from behind a camera and typewriter. Unfortunately, being assigned to public affairs did not shield Staff Sergeant Minnick from the horrors of war--including the deaths of two close friends--or from the devastating effects of PTSD upon his return home.It is a story of courage, frustration (with both the military and the mainstream media), dedication and redemption. Includes more than 40 black and white photos taken by the author.
