More about the book
Paying tribute to all who fought and died, this chronologically structured collection of photographs covers all the major events of the Second World War-from the blitzkrieg to the Battle of Britain, from the invasion of Poland to Pearl Harbor. Many of the images capture harrowing combat scenes of conflict, brutality, suffering, and slaughter, but these pictures also include poignant and uplifting scenes of civilians, nurses, and doctors fighting their own battles. Whether for those old enough to remember the events themselves, or those fortunate enough not to, this is a lasting and important document that depicts every aspect of this very modern war in images that will inform, shock, move, and engage.
