Features: The images in this book have a somber tone, documenting the harsh history of World War II. Their impact may be even more profound on the debate between light and darkness in another historical period. The reason and purpose for the Allied Powers' involvement in World War II were precisely light versus darkness, and in the end, justice triumphed over evil. In the subsequent debates, the role and objectives of the United States in World War II have often been questioned domestically and remain a subject of contention. However, it was precisely in this war against Nazi Germany and Japanese militaristic expansionism that the unity of the American people was achieved—the necessity to fight and the imperative for victory. The images selected in the book record that war and its sacrifices. They prove the dedication and heroism of the men and women who devoted themselves to the war, armed with their cameras.
