America At War In Color Hd

Rating:
Summary: WWII in Color
Review: Most of us who were not around during this period in history can only relate to this epic event through the massive numbers of grainy black and white photos that were taken at the time. Color photography was in its infancy at that time. The authors have scoured the photo archives of the world and come up with this stunning collection of color photographs of persons and events of one of America's defining moments. Year by year(1941-1945) groups of color photos with accompanying explanatory narrative makes this a sobering overview of global war and America's role in it. I highly recommend this colorful and comprehensive history of America at war in WWII.

Review: The same people who were behind the outstanding video documentary "World War II, the Lost Color Archive" (UK title "The Second World War in Colour" and the disappointing book by the same (UK) title, are back on top with this one. It contains 300+ pictures on 256 pages. Arranged chronologically, each chapter has a brief intro, and good captions on the photographs, but the pictures have priority this time. They are a good selection of: pre, during, and post war images, home and war fronts, classics and the rarely seen. If you do not have a book of WWII color photos, this is perfect for you; and even if you do, I think you'll find enough new images to be happy with this. I saw this in a store and paid retail, because I didn't want to risk missing it.
