American journalist David Douglas Duncan has influenced the photography of the 20th century with his trademark dramatic combat photographs. His photos during WWII were thought so impressive that after the war he was hired by Life to join their staff. During his time with Life he covered many events including the end of the British Raj in India and conflicts in Turkey, Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
