If you want to see war paintings, you cannot do better than this book. Some books about painters/paintings are long-on text, short on pics. Not this one. It's 500 plus pages and I would say each page has at least two to three color pics on them, so that's a 1000 to 1200 paintings that you haven't seen 90 percent of them before and it is all killer no filler. All aspect of the war is covered: air, land and sea, every campaign, the home fronts. Even the obscure aspects of the war are also featured such as paintings from the Aleutian islands, the fight for Malta and the Italian infantryman's view of Stalingrad. I plan on buying more copies of this book so I can hand it out to friends to get the conversation going at parties. It's truly excellent.
Record of war as portrayed by artists in World War II. There are 500 paintings and drawings by 75 artists from 14 combatant countries.
This Edition is collectable and will make an excellent addition for your collection. If you want the best there is, this is it.
