- This monograph uniquely contributed to scholarship on media-military relations by closely examining the rarely discussed threat of violence facing war reporters from the United States government and its closest allies. It concluded that 46 media workers needlessly died as a result of reckless US military activity since 1999 and chronicled a causative culture of press intolerance. The book was informed by more than a decade of continuous analysis of NGO databases and research reports on journalist causalities, a survey of dissident US veterans, and interviews with elite journalists and rights advocates.
