How would hist have been different had certain photos never been taken ? Such as
ACW photos of post-battle fields such as Antietam and Gettysburg
lynching photos such as burning of Henry Smith, Paris, Texas, 1893, or Jesse Washington, Waco 1916
1944- Robert Capa's photos of landings at Omaha Beach
1945- US Marines planting flag on Mount Suribachi
1964- footage of violent police suppression of civil rights demonstrations in Birmingham and Selma
1968- RVN Saigon police chief Loan executing VC suspect during Tet offensive
1970 approx.- little Vietnamese girl running down road naked after napalm attack
1972- masked PLO terrorist on balcony after Israeli Olympic team taken hostage
1979 onwards- photos of skulls of Khmer Rouge victims
1982- captured Royal Marine garrison disarmed and forced to lie on ground spreadeagled by Argentines at Port Stanley
1991- footage of captured RAF Tornado crewmen displayed by Saddam on TV + Highway of Death after Iraqis kicked out from Kuwait
1992- Arkan's Tigers kicking bodies of murdered Bosnian Muslim women at Bijeljina
1993- Roy Gutman's photos of emaciated detainees at Omarska concentration camp + footage of dead crewmen of SUPER 6-4 being dragged thru streets of Mog
1994- footage of Rwandan genocide- esp. pregnant woman being macheted to death
1999- footage of unarmed East Timorese pro-independence voter being beaten to death by militiamen
Can anybody speculate as to hist without these photos having been taken, and suggest others ?
