In Afghanistan and Iraq, painters
are embedded in military units to record
wars in their paintings.
Artists like Britains Jules George
are expert at speedily sketching
gunfights, and depicting the monotonous
down time, framed by the beautiful
Afghan landscape, of everyday war
In 1995, BritainsGuardian newspaper
commissioned Tony Harrison as a poetic
correspondent to the Bosnian war.

The poetry of James Fenton and Sarah Maguire also draws on close
observation of warzones: in Pomegranates of Kandahar,
Maguire compares the deep red of Afghanistans native fruit to the
bloodshed on the countrys streets.
Brian Turner s collectionHere, Bulletshows a different war: one full
of the adrenaline rush you crave / that inexorable flight, that insane
puncture / into heat and blood.
In Special Relationship, Harold Pinter uses stark imagery The
bombs go off / the legs go off / the heads go off to criticise
warmongering in Iraq.
One of the best war documentary film --the surreal plot and big-
budget effects of Francis Ford CoppolasApocalypse .

Today, a relatively small number of people are serving on the
front line; in most countries, people are not directly touched by
war.
The way it is documented and portrayed whether through
journalism, poetry or art is the only way most of us know
anything about global wars.
Sometimes people would rather not know or ignore, as these
are sad and frightening.

Conflicts are closely bound up with the
politics of your home country. Western
nations, for a start, are spending money
raised through citizens taxes on conflicts inAfghanistan and Iraq, and even if you do not
fight in these wars, friends or relatives might.
Turning a blind eye to wars suffering will
not make it go away: in fact, scrutiny helps
ensure that fewer war crimes and abuses
happen during conflicts

IMPACT OFDOCUMENTING
WARS
Photographers & artists documents every detail of the war that they could
capture. They follow important generals and large forces, capturing the facesof soldiers and the horror of the bloodiest wars.
Proliferation of images changes the way the public perceives the war by
turning people removed from the fighting into eye witnesses of the carnage.
