War and society.

Annotation

What is the purpose of images of pain and suffering? Can there be any real justification for the creation, and consumption, of such images?In this seminal volume, Susan Sontag examines the uses and meanings of images, from inspiring dissent to fostering violence to creating apathy. And through this lens she considers the nature of war, the limits of sympathy, and the obligations of conscience.
