Summary
The summer of 2014 - when the Islamic State seized Mosul, Iraq's second city; captured vast swathes of eastern Syria; and declared itself a latter-day Caliphate - marked a turning point in the history of photography, one that pushed its already contested relationship with reality to its very limits. Uniquely obsessed with narrative, image management and branding, the Islamic State used cameras as weapons in its formative years as a Caliphate. Based on a deep examination of images collected from the Islamic State's covert networks, this book explores the process by which the Caliphate shook the foundations of modern war photography.--, Provided by publisher
