La Segunda Guerra Mundial fue el conflicto más fotografiado de la historia. Fotógrafos militares y de prensa, propagandistas, soldados y civiles con cámaras, todos aprovecharon la oportunidad para registrar los tumultuosos acontecimientos de 1939-45.Las escenas que capturaron de sufrimiento masivo y heroísmo individual, de crueldad atroz y humanitarismo contra viento y marea, de odio y camaradería, de miseria y esperanza, permanecen intactas en su intensidad y constituyen un registro vital de un período extra ordinario.
La II Guerra Mundial en imágenes presenta 900 imágenes claramente subtituladas, seleccionadas de una amplia variedad de fuentes, muchas de las cuales se ven aquí por primera vez. Se cubren todos los principales escenarios del conflicto, desde los mares helados del Círculo Polar Ártico hasta las selvas del Pacífico Sur, desde los desiertos del norte de África hasta las estepas de Rusia. A lo largo de todo el libro se ofrece una base histórica adecuada mediante un comentario informativo e indexado que resume los numerosos y complejos acontecimientos del período.

Work Description
World War II was the most intensively photographed conflict in history. Military and press photographers, propagandists, camera-wielding soldiers and civilians--all took the opportunity to record the tumultuous events of 1939-45. The scenes they captured of mass suffering and individual heroism, of atrocious cruelty and humanitarianism against the odds, of hate and comradership, misery and hope, remain undiminished in their intensity and constitute a vital record of an extra ordinary period.
World War II: A Photographic History features 900 clearly captioned images selected from a wide variety of sources, many of which are seen here for the first time. Every major theatre of conflict is covered, from the ice seas of the Arctic Circle to the jungles of the South Pacific, from the deserts of North Africa to the steppes of Russia. Throughout, proper historical grounding is given by an informative, indexed commentary summarizing the many complex events of the period.
