Book Review – The Vest Pocket Kodak and the First World War

Vest Pocket Kodak & The First World War, The: Camera & ConflictVest Pocket Kodak & The First World War, The: Camera & Conflict by Jon Cooksey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading this book was like lingering in an excellently-curated museum exhibit about the title subject. The text was concise and the illustrations copious. Though several sections left we wanting to know more about their topics, overall the coverage was comprehensive. In a war famous for inventing new ways of killing, there’s a wonderfully human quality to the simultaneous introduction of new ways of seeing and recording (not to mention camera marketing).
