After hostilities broke out between Japan and China in July 1937 (the Marco Polo Incident), major Japanese newspapers such as the Yomiuri Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun sent photojournalists to the front lines. To support the war effort and keep the public informed, they published various periodic photo collections documenting the operations of the Japanese army and navy.

The phrase "Special Correspondents Risking Their Lives" echoes historical accounts of front-line journalists during conflict, closely tied to major publications.

This is a rare book recording Japanese actions in the second Sino-Japanese war related to the Marco Polo Bridge incident, it was a three-day battle that began on 7 July 1937 in the district of Beijing between the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China and the Imperial Japanese Army. The heightened tensions of the Marco Polo Bridge incident led directly to full-scale war between the Empire of Japan and the Republic of China
