Seeing Is Believing by Errol Morris, who is famous as the director of Thin Blue Line.
Its a collection of essays by Morris about famous photographs, what they show, what they don't show, and what role did the photographer have in shaping the image. The last essay is about the famous image of three children, found on an dead Union soldier at Gettysburg. The soldier did not have any ID. Its a fascinating story of how the soldier was traced, his experience in the army, his family, and the fate of his widow and orphan.
He has an exhaustive study of two photographs from the Crimean War by Roger Fenton, images from the Iraqi War, and the classic images from the Great Depression. Very thought provoking and eye opening.
