Max Pearson presents a collection of this week’s Witness History stories.
We focus on some of the world’s best known photographs - and the photographers who took them.
We find out why Lee Miller was in Hitler’s bath in the dying days of World War Two; and historian Dr Pippa Oldfield discusses the women who were the pioneers of war photography.
Also, Sir Don McCullin tells the story behind one of his most famous images of the Vietnam War.
Plus, more on the party pictures that shone a light on an unseen Africa and how the biggest names in jazz came together for one immortal portrait.
Finally, the first African American woman to have her photographs snapped up by New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
