The First Casualty: the War Correspondent as Hero and Myth-maker from the Crimea to Kosovo - Softcover
This is the story of war reporting, of war correspondents, and the legion of influences that can distort and obstruct efforts to report the truth. It tells of the war correspondent and his search for truth or his role as a propagandist for his, or another government. From William Howard Russell who blew the whistle on the appalling conditions of the British forces in the Crimea to the correspondents who lifted the lid on the reality of the Vietnam War, theirs is a story of a web of heroism and manipulation, censorship and espionage. The lengths to which governments lie, to fool the citizens of the enemy and, even more so, to fool their own, has not diminished with the years it is argued - it has grown.

From the Publisher:
"In war, truth may be the first casualty, but in Phillip Knightley's compelling examination of the war correspondent as journalist-mouthpiece-propagandist, the truth survives unscathed. Myths are exploded, scoundrels unmasked, the best and worst of the history of a century plainly revealed."—Morley Safer
From the Author:
"Few books have deserved an updated edition more than Phillip Knightley's history of war reporting since the 1850s . . . Invaluable for anyone with an interest in the media, it is equally recommended as a modern history of government lies."—Times Literary Supplement
Phillip Knightley was an award-winning investigative journalist with The Sunday Times for twenty years and is the author of a number of books, including a history of espionage in the twentieth century. He lives in London.
