The Korean War in rare pictures, 1951-1953 With her brother on her back, a war-weary Korean girl trudges by a stalled M-26 tank, at Haengju, Korea. On June 9, 1951. The Korean War was one of several military conflicts that occurred during the Cold War, as the United States and its allies attempted to stop the spread of communism.

It’s aplace where social relations are made over in the image of the market. Michael J. Sandel ( 1953-03-05 age: 65) Iraq War Pictures Americans have a superstition, backed by law, that the bodies of Americans killed inwar or their coffins must not be photographed. Oddly, the superstition does not applyto those they have killed. I see this law as a way to deceive the American people aboutthe human costs of illegal wars.

As a Canadian, the law does not apply to me. I feel aduty to punch Americans in the gut with such photos to persuade them to stop treatingwar as a football game. Roedy ( 1948-02-04 age: 70)These photos show the tip of the iceberg of the suffering of both Americansand Iraqis in the Iraq war.

This is considered collateral damage in a $13.5 trillion oil heist of the #2 oil reserves on the planet,callously masquerading as a compassionate regime change. The occupation and slaughtercarries on without an official reason now that Saddam is captured.

That the Iraqis resistoccupation now seems justification enough for Bush. It may sound strange, but to Bush,the following images are. Note I am not saying who in particular caused any of these injuries,just that this is the sort of suffering happening to both sides as the result of the war.Most Americans are in deep denial that their country would butcher children andcivilians, routinely torture, or bomb homes. Yet nearly every American saw this live on( Cable News Network) with his own eyeson 2003-03-20 when America did its Shock & Awe bombing ofthe residential sections of Baghdad on the opening day of the war. Granted, they did notsee the blood spurting, but they saw apartments full of families being turned to rubble.Everyone knows perfectly well what happens when a bomb hits an apartment. Americanspretend the $2 trillion they borrowed for the war went forreconstruction.

If that were so, every Iraqi would be living in a$400,000.00 USDmansion. That money clearly went for mayhem and destruction. Soldiers are trained andpaid to kill, not build schools or hand out candy. America has behaved worse than NaziGermany.

Americans plug their ears and say lah lah lah as ifthat would erase their responsibility. How dare they claim to be a Christian nation!Many Americans have written me convinced none of the casualties in the photos belowcould not possibly have been done by Americans.

They seem to think American soldiers arein Iraq to act as police rather than killers. Iraqis have onlyIEDs ( Improvised Explosive Devices)IED ( Improvised Explosive Device) s) to fight with.Whereas only American have helicopters to drop people out of, white phosphorus to mummifythem, napalm to cook them to a crisp, cluster bombs to shread them,DU ( Depleted Uranium) etc. So if you see a whitephosphorus victim, nobody but Americans could have done it.

The War Between the States was the first large and prolonged conflict recorded by photography. During the war, dozens of photographers, both as private individuals and as employees of the Confederate and Union Governments, photographed civilians and civilian activities; military personnel, equipment, and activities; and the locations and aftermaths of battles. Because wet-plate collodion negatives required from 5 to 20 seconds exposure, there are no action photographs of the war.

The name Mathew B. Brady is almost a synonym for Civil War photography. Although Brady himself actually may have taken only a few photographs of the war, he employed many of the other well-known photographers before and during the war. Alexander Gardner and James F. Gibson at different times managed Brady's Washington studio. Timothy O'Sullivan, James Gardner, and Egbert Guy Fox were also employed by Brady during the conflict.

The pictures listed in this publication are in the Still Picture Branch of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Most are part of the Records of the Office of the Chief Signal Officer, Record Group 111, and Records of the War Department General and Special Staffs, Record Group 165. The records include photographs from the Matthew B. Brady collection, purchased for $27,840 by the War Department in 1874 and 1875, photographs from the Quartermaster's Department of the Corps of Engineers, and photographs private citizens donated to the War Department. These collections were once part of the War Department Library and have been cataloged and published as 'List of the Photographs and Photographic Negatives Relating to the War for the Union' (War Department Subject Catalogue No. 5, 1897; 219 p.), filmed as National Archives Microfilm Publication T251.

Photographs included in this leaflet have been listed under one of four main headings: activities, places, portraits, and Lincoln's assassination. Items in the first two parts are arranged under subheadings by date, with undated items at the end of each subheading. Photographs of artworks have also been included in the list. Any item not identified as an artwork is a photograph. Names of photographers or artists and dates of items have been given when available, and an index to photographers follows the list.

At the end of this leaflet, there are instructions for ordering photographs. Many photographs of the Civil War held by the National Archives are not listed in this leaflet. Separate inquiries about other Civil War photography should be as specific as possible listing names, places, events, and other details.

Sandra Nickles and Joe D. Thomas did the research, selection, and arrangement for this list and wrote these introductory remarks.
