  MEMORIES OF WORLD WAR II
Photographs from the Archives of The Associated Press
Foreword by Bob Dole, Introduction by Walter Cronkite


Lavishly illustrated with 167 duotone photographs, MEMORIES OF WORLD WAR II is the definitive presentation of photographs from the World War II era — from GIs at the Battle of the Bulge to the Marines on Okinawa, from Germans invading the Soviet Union with horse-drawn wagons, to soldiers praying before the landing at Normandy. Culled from tens of thousands of pictures in the AP Archives, the collection includes material from AP photo files in Europe and Asia that have not been seen since the war.
