1917 年，美国参议员海勒姆·约翰逊 (Hiram Johnson) 说道：“战争来临时，第一个受害者就是真相。”菲利普·奈特利 (Phillip Knightley) 在他扣人心弦、如今已成为经典的战争新闻史中证明了约翰逊的观点是多么正确。从在《伦敦泰晤士报》上描述克里米亚战争的骇人听闻的威廉·霍华德·拉塞尔，到捕捉越南战争现实的记者、摄影师和摄像师，《第一名伤亡者》讲述了一个关于英雄主义与勾结、审查与镇压的引人入胜的故事。奈特利透露，自越南战争以来，各国政府在管理媒体方面变得更加熟练，正如有关马岛战争、海湾战争以及北约与塞尔维亚之间科索沃冲突的章节中所强调的那样。在关于 9/11 后阿富汗和伊拉克战争的新章节中，奈特利详细描述了更大程度的政府操纵和媒体共谋，记者“嵌入”军事单位以及对这些冲突进行不加批判、公开的爱国主义报道就证明了这一点。 “战地记者作为英雄的时代，”他总结道，“似乎已经结束了。” 《第一名伤亡者》经过全面更新，对于任何关心新闻自由、新闻责任和现代战争本质的人来说仍然是必读书。
"The first casualty when war comes, is truth," said American Senator Hiram Johnson in 1917. In his gripping, now-classic history of war journalism, Phillip Knightley shows just how right Johnson was. From William Howard Russell, who described the appalling conditions of the Crimean War in the Times of London, to the ranks of reporters, photographers, and cameramen who captured the realities of war in Vietnam, The First Casualty tells a fascinating story of heroism and collusion, censorship and suppression. Since Vietnam, Knightley reveals, governments have become much more adept at managing the media, as highlighted in chapters on the Falklands War, the Gulf War, and the conflict between NATO and Serbia over Kosovo. And in a new chapter on the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Knightley details even greater degrees of government manipulation and media complicity, as evidenced by the "embedding" of reporters in military units and the uncritical, openly patriotic coverage of these conflicts. "The age of the war correspondent as hero," he concludes, "appears to be over." Fully updated, The First Casualty remains required reading for anyone concerned about freedom of the press, journalistic responsibility, and the nature of modern warfare.
