Exhibition: Focus: Photography & War 1945~2006 November 15, 2007

For 150 years photographs have helped define Australia's military history, and the Australian War Memorial holds some of the most powerful images of our time at war.

Hundreds of these photos, taken by some of the world's best war photographers, can now be seen in a special exhibition and a new book by the Memorial.

The exhibition Focus: photography & war 1945-2006, captures the horror and humanity of military and peacekeeping actions over a turbulent 60-year period, via the lenses of 15 official and freelance photographers.

The book, Contact : photographs from the Australian War Memorial collection, spans almost 150 years of Australia's military history, and is the most comprehensive work to date surveying what is one of the world's most extensive photographic archives.
