Drugi svjetski rat

Drugi svjetski rat

Cyrus Leo Sulzberger

This comprehensive history of World War II in words and pictures is one of the greatest works of its kind in the world. Contains 720 photographs (92 in color), many taken in battle.

Sulzberger's sober, sometimes dry but almost always interesting text relies on rich illustrative material, largely unknown to our readership. Many of the pictures are such that, if we do not look at them superficially, without imagination and feeling, they directly and abruptly confront us with the glory, suffering and darkness of the second world war and every war; in their totality they act as a poignant documentary film with numerous and extraordinary sequences.

The author's calm narration does not have its excitingly honest, energetic and bitter extensions not only in the pictures but also in the statements of many witnesses, which are supplemented with each chapter. Therefore, the book is a large collection of sources, i.e. their excerpts.
