Thanks to the invention of photography and the telegraph descriptions and images of war have proliferated from the nineteenth century onward, yet wars continue to be fought. The way descriptions of war are framed blunts the impact of images of death and makes war an acceptable option by representing it as "war without bodies" therefore without casualties. Beginning with Crimean War, War Without Bodies traces the ways that death was framed in poetry, photography, video and video games up to and including the Iraq War.
