At the start of hostilities in World War I, when the United States was still neutral,
American newsreel companies and newspapers sent a new kind of journalist, the film
correspondent, to Europe to record the Great War. These pioneering cameramen, accustomed
to carrying the Kodaks and Graflexes of still photography, had to lug cumbersome equipment
into the trenches. Facing dangerous conditions on the front, they also risked summary
execution as supposed spies while navigating military red tape, censorship, and the
business interests of the film and newspaper companies they represented. Based on
extensive research in European and American archives, American Cinematographers in
the Great War, 1914-1918 follows the adventures of these cameramen as they managed
to document and film the atrocities around them in spite of enormous difficulties
