[Mike Hohrath · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful book from key images throughout world war two. At times, touching, other times, really brutal. Great captures from right up in the action with solid quotes and text to provide context. Would recommend for WW2 buffs to keep as a coffee table item.

What a great thrift store find!

[Hongyu Zhang · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent selection of photographs, however, the proportion of the American perspective is way too much. It distorts a holistic view of a the war.
