America at War in Color: Unique Images of the American Experience of World War II

by Adrian Wood (Author), Adrian Wood (Author), Stewart Binns (Author)

Synopsis

For over fifty years World War II has been seen as a black and white war. Now, specially commissioned research has unearthed a remarkable colour record of the conflict. Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the American entry into the Second World War in December 1941, America at War in Color goes far beyond the familiar, presenting images that have never been seen before. It 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. Now you too can see World War II through the eyes of those who witnessed the horrors and spectacles, the camaraderie and the death, the fear and the victory. America at War in Color shows you how the war really looked to those who were actually there.
