Assembled from the extensive archives of Life magazine and other photo collections in the U.S. and abroad, this album offers a visual history of World War II in more than 660 captioned illustrations, many of them remarkable, including color pictures of Hitler taken by his personal photographer. From the escalating tensions of the pre-war world to the German blitzkrieg, the shock of Pearl Harbor, the fighting on land, sea, and air, D-Day, the home fronts, the atom bombs, and the war's historic aftermath, journalist Richard B. Stolley takes a fresh look at the most important global event of the 20th century.
