Agostino von Hassell studied history at Columbia University, graduating in 1974, and attended Columbia Journalism School, graduating in 1975. He has taught as adjunct professor in the graduate program of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York, instructing members of the New York City Police Department in subjects such as counterterrorism and leadership. He has written extensively on military and war history for a variety of publications and has authored books including Military High Life, on the history of military dining; In Honor of America, a collection of photographs capturing the American spirit; Warriors, a photographic memoir narrating life in the marines; Strike Force, an insiders view of military intelligence; Alliance of Enemies: The Untold Story of the Secret American and German Collaboration to End World War II; and an illustrated tribute to West Point. Photojournalist Agostino von Hassell and production assistant Keith Crossley penetrated behind the image of Marine corps recruitment posters to reveal the process by which men and women earn the title of U.S. Marine. Carrying cameras and film in place of rifles, von Hassell and Crossley participated alongside Marines in exercise after exercise, regardless of how grueling or dangerous. Lying in mud, hurriedly rinsing the plexiglas box that protected his camera, von Hassell made pictures of Marines rappelling down a waterfall. Warriors is a unique record, unlike any published by Howell Press. They believe it is the most compelling collections of photographs and text about the spirit and determination of America's modern ground forces ever done.
