Résumé du livre

Two hundred photographs, taken from all fronts throughout World War II, have been culled from the Magnum Photos archive to provide a moving testament to the defining moments in each of the wartime arenas. From the deserts of Africa to the snowy steppes of Russia, and from the jungle of the Pacific islands to the Italian mountain tops, the greatest photographers of the era risked their lives to bear witness to the world-changing events of the war and to the heroic acts of courage that arose from the ashes. Years later, these iconic images have lost none of their power and are imprinted forever in our collective memory.
