...LIFE, the magazine that practically invented photojournalism. From the war's prelude in Spain to the Japanese surrender nine years later, the magazine's photographers provided the images that alerted and moved a nation. Many of the pictures have been permanently filed in our imaginations: Robert Capa's famous "moment of death" of a Spanish Republican soldier; the dead Chinese child being carried to a mass grave like a sack of laundry; Mussolini flapping his arms like a prize rooster; MacArthur sloshing ashore in the Philippines; the pinups of the '40s-Betty Grable, Dorothy Lamour, Rita...
...about fifteen pictures in the show, we can see more clearly just what sort of havoc Doty has wrought with what is generally accepted photographic history. Of the members of Magnum, the photojournalists' cooperative that nursed most of Life's best talent from 1930 to about 1960.

Despite his wounds and frustration, DeVoss is more fortunate than many casualties among the press corps. LIFE Photographer Robert Capa was killed back in 1954, when the war belonged to France and seemed far away. Since 1965 alone, 34 journalists have died in Indochina, including TIME Correspondent John Cantwell and LIFE Photographer Larry Burrows. Another 19 are still missing, all but two of them lost in Cambodia...
