Product Description:
Most people's memory of the years 1941-1945 exist in monochrome, because that is the way it was and still is seen in the films and pictures of the day. This is a collection of colour photographs from World War II taken, for the most part, by amateur photographers which provide a slightly different perspective on the largest conflict in human history.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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
