Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket is in good condition with wear to edges. Spine tail and top are now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still very good.

World War II in Photographs is both a unique record of this massive conflict and a reminder to today's generations, most of whom have not experienced warfare at first hand, of the heroism, horror and devastating cost of global conflict.

For this first time in its history the Imperial War Museum in London is collaborating on a book that presents 500 of the best black and white and colour images from its huge photographic archive, many of which have never been previously published, It is not simply a view of the war from the Allied perspective: the images come from collections on every side of the war - including Russian, German and Japanese. Accompanied by Richard Holmes' brilliant and informative text, this is an outstanding addition to the story of World War II and will provoke emotion and provide enlightenment.

Foreword by Major Steve Gower AO, Director, Australian War Memorial.
