The victor’s account of history may be the one that is recorded, but photojournalism
\nstill has the power to undermine the official version. Such is the corrective testimony
\nof this startling collection of banned, suppressed or conveniently forgotten news images
\ndepicting moments from the last century where the propaganda needs of politicians,
\ndespots and stars clashed with sometimes awkward, sometimes horrifying truths.
\nIncorporating images and text from the Index On Censorship and the Hulton Getty
\nPicture Collection, the images represent a reality check on alleged events from the
\nlast hundred years, documenting a power struggle with rival cultural forces of media
\nand information. Reclaimed from the trash cans of the Second World War, Hitler’s
\npreening speech rehearsals come back to argue with his self-made myth. From the
\ncruelty of Stalin’s Russia to fundamentalist chaos in Iran, via disgruntled starlets,
\necological destruction and US nuclear tests, Underexposed gathers some of the
\nmost ideologically dangerous photographs ever taken and releases them to haunt
\nthe increasingly manipulated, retouched present. With an incisive forward by Colin
\nJacobson, the book is a seminal work for all those curious about what lies beneath
\nthe last century’s layers of spin.<\/span>
