The faces of World War II : the Second World War in words and pictures by Max Arthur

"Paying tribute to all who fought and died, this chronologically structured collection of photographs covers all the major events of the Second World War—from the blitzkrieg to the Battle of Britain, from the invasion of Poland to Pearl Harbor. Many of the images capture harrowing combat scenes of conflict, brutality, suffering, and slaughter, but these pictures also include poignant and uplifting scenes of civilians, nurses, and doctors fighting their own battles.
