The Second World War in colour

Carter, Ian, 1964 August 8-2017
Books, Manuscripts
For those of us who didn't live through World War II, it appears in our mind's eye in black and white. Images of the Blitz, of the D-Day landings at Normandy, the liberation of Paris, the fall of Berlin - all come to us in shadowy grays and blacks, the lack of colour simultaneously heightening their drama and distancing them from us. Seen in black and white, World War II seems wholly of the past, a story that's being told much more than an experienced that men and women actually lived through. This book will help change that. Reproducing seventy-eight rare full-colour images from the archives of the Imperial War Museums, it shows us a new - or at least long-forgotten - World War II.
