Two outstanding war photographers, George Silk and George Strock, covered the intense fighting between Allied and Japanese imperial forces in New Guinea. Their photos were thought too graphic for the public to see and were censored. This book is about the making and censorship of these now famous photos and their eventual, impactful publication.

This is the story of two internationally famous photographers, the New Zealander George Silk and the American George Strock, who with exceeding bravery in World War II covered the intense fighting between Australian, New Zealand and American forces on one side, and Japanese Imperial forces on the other, in New Guinea and the Pacific. Among their many outstanding photos are one by each that have, like no other, come to represent the New Guinea war-front in the minds of the public. And yet at the time of taking these photos were thought too graphic and authentic for the general public in Australia and the United States to see, and they were censored. This book is about the making of those photos, their censorship and resulting personal and media struggle, and their eventual, consequential and now iconic publication.
