The Second World War is the most documented, devastating and disastrous war in human history, but despite the countless books, films and documentaries, there is still much that remains untold and unseen. This book presents a new perspective on the events that shaped the modern world. Almost all our recollections are in black and white, but colour material unearthed from as early as 1933 for this book and the associated television series gives a more real look at the events of this horrifying war.
Many of the colour stills show frontline action and significant wartime events. Hundreds of letters, diary extracts and experiences of named individuals are reproduced to add personal witness to the drama of the colour imagery.
