This is a collection of photographs from Life to Magazine published during the Second World War. Some of the photos are described as to where and when they were taken. In some case the military individuals are identified. As well there are quotes from the newspaper articles written by war correspondents such as Robert Capra, Ernest Hemingway, Ernie Pyle and Edward R. Murrow that accompany and describe some of the photos.

A wonderful browsing vehicle for getting an impression of what serving overseas might have been like. ( )

Looking through one of these book with the great many pictures I sometimes hope to see my Grandfather who served in WWII in Italy. Or since I do research for the family tree I look for simple books that delve into the War that gives me some info on what he went through since he is no longer here so I can not ask.

The quotes were interesting and pictures are a statement in time but I wanted more out of it then it had. So while it is a good coffee table book that will stand the test of time but does not tell all of the story. ( )

Photos as only Life could capture them ( )

Pictures and excerpts from Life Magazine covering the period of World War II. Excellent source for students of history. ( )
