Color!

Over 200 pages color WWII photographs lovingly reproduced on glossy, think paper. Most are carefully composed; some quickly snapped. Some are clearly designed to convey pro-Allie messages. Others just document stuff. I find it hard to put down.

stunning

Stunning and an eye opener. Untill I stumbled over this book a few years ago it had never occured to me that WW2 was anything but black and white. Even people who have no particular interest in the war are mesmerized when I show them the book.

fascinating

Excellent book which present an entirely fresh look to a war we're so familiar with. Good enough for any war-buff and valuable resource material for modellers. Photos are of hi-quality, sharp and beautifully taken. T's unfortunate that many photos are rather static, but it is hardly anybody's fault. I'm eagerly looking forward for the next volume
