Recenzijas

As a career naval officer for over four decades, I have known war throughout my long career. This extraordinary work of photographic literature perfectly illuminates the tragedy and triumph of combat.

An astonishing work of art. -- Admiral James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and author of "The Restless Wave: A Novel of the US Navy in WWII" One of the most important collections of World War II photographs to be found in a generation. Deleuran has restored over 150 previously lost photographs and, in so doing, tells a powerful story. These evocative images leave a lasting impression... -- Historian Dr Helen Fry
