Visions
of
War
provides
a
historical
survey,
an
anatomy,
an
interpretation,
and
a
polemic
about
the
ways
human
beings
have
created
pictures
of
battle
and
conflict
from
the
Stone
Age
to
the
Gulf
War.From
the
dawn
of
time
to
the
present,
from
the
days
of
mammoth
hunting
to
the
era
of
Scud-busting,
pictures
of
war
constitute
the
most
persistent
genre
of
images
human
beings
have
created.
In
fact,
human
beings
are
the
only
creatures
who
engage
in
these
two
activities--organized
violence
and
the
making
of
pictorial
images--and
the
author
shows
how
both
art
and
war
emerge
from
the
same
source:
the
hunter's
eye.David
D.
Perlmutter's
Visions
of
War
explores
and
analyzes
the
thirteen
thousand-year
legacy
of
pictures
of
war
from
various
cultures
over
the
centuries,
from
the
Stone
Age
cave
paintings
and
monumental
sculpture
of
the
ancient
Near
East
to
the
art
of
the
classical
period
and
the
Middle
Ages,
from
pre-contact
Mesoamerican
imagery
to
Napoleonic
propaganda
and
totalitarian
art
and
on
to
the
instantaneous
images
of
the
Gulf War.
