Many of them are well-known and iconic; others less so. One thing that they bring out is this: in the popular imagination, the 1940s are synonymous with the Second World War - yet in fact, that war only occupied the first half of the decade (although its impact on what followed cannot be underestimated). There are pictures depicting social changes in the period as well as the great events; and the beginnings of the decline of colonialism are covered (and not just from a British stand-point), although the birth of the state of Israel has no coverage of the plight of the Palestinians. But all told, a useful compendium of pictures. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Ten years that altered the face of the world: a war fought across four continent, the break-up of old empires and the establishment of new ones, and the explosive inauguration of nuclear power. Between these covers are some of the greatest and most graphic images of the age, revealing the best and worst of a turbulent era: from battlefield to beauty parlor, from the London black-out to the glittering screens of Hollywood's golden age, from old enemies to new nations.
