The book, Images Of War: The Artist's Vision Of World War II represents an interesting record of World War II as drawn from two hundred artists from a dozen different countries.  Although little known at the time, artists from all nations committed to paper or canvas the many events, which they were a part of.  While some artists were commissioned by their governments or armed forces to document the battles, others just felt the need to express their image of war.  Also of interest is the fact that the artists came from all walks of life.  Some were already famous and some became famous after the war.  Others made no subsequent artistic mark on the art world and still others never survived the war.  The editors of "Images Of War: The Artist's Vision Of World War II" worked with a team of researchers to select the artworks contained in this book from literally thousands of examples hanging in museums and tucked away in private collections.  Of particular note, is a selection of artworks from the former Soviet Union, most of them never before seen in the west.  The breadth of this collection of artwork is extraordinary; from the front lines to the supply lines, from the foxholes and the gun turrets to the loading docks, mess tents & hospitals, from bombed-out cities & refugee-swollen roads to home-front factories & war-bond rallies this collection encompasses every major aspect of World War II.  Throughout "Images Of War: The Artist's Vision Of World War II" context is added to these remarkable artworks by the inclusion of a carefully chosen narrative of excerpted eyewitness accounts and dispatches that complement these powerful images.  The major sections of " Images Of War: The Artist's Vision Of World War II" are as follows: 1) Editors' Note; 2) Foreword; 3) Chapter I - Blitzkrieg In Europe; 4) Chapter II - Britain Stands Alone; 5) Chapter III - Struggle In North Africa; 6) Chapter IV - The Invasion Of Russia; 7) Chapter V - Sea Wars; 8) Chapter VI - Explosion In The Pacific; 9) Chapter VII - Island Invasions And Carrier Wars; 10) Chapter VIII - Stepping Stones To Europe; 11) Chapter IX Air War Over Europe; 12) Chapter X - Forgotten Wars And Silent Services; 13) Chapter XI - Home Fronts, Resistance Fronts; 14) Chapter XII - Assault On Nazi Fortress Europe; 15) Chapter XIII - The End Of The War In Europe; 16) Chapter XIV - Closing On Japan; 17) Chapter XV - The End Of The War In The Pacific; 18) Art Collections; 19) Sources; 20) Acknowledgments; 21) Artists' Index and 22) Subject Index.  In addition to an informative narrative, "Images Of War: The Artist's Vision Of World War II" includes the following features: 1) Approximately 69 black and white photographs of original artworks and 2) About 398 color photographs of original artworks.  This book is 451 pages and is in excellent condition.  The editors are Ken McCormick and Hamilton Darby Perry with John Hersey (foreword).  Edition published in 1990.
