Reporting the War features the lives and work of journalists who brought news of the war from the European and Pacific theaters to the home front. More than one hundred captioned illustrations accompany Frederick Voss's account of the correspondents, photographers, and field artists who braved enemy fire, slept in foxholes, and were prisoners of war.

Published on the occasion of an exhibition held Apr. 22-Sept. 5, 1994, National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.
