Edited by Antony Penrose, her son, this book offers an intimate and powerful look at Miller's experiences covering World War II with the Allied forces in Europe from 1944-45. Featuring a foreword by David E. Scherman, the book showcases Miller's iconic photojournalism, capturing the raw realities of conflict, liberation, and the human spirit amidst one of history's most pivotal periods. It is a vital resource for enthusiasts of war history, photojournalism, and the groundbreaking work of women in historically male-dominated fields. This first edition, first printing from 1992, published by Conde Nast Books, is a remarkable collector's item, made even more special by the authentic inscription and signature of Antony Penrose. The inscription, dated 3-7-92, adds a unique personal touch, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of rare books, photography, and World War II memorabilia. Delve into the narratives of Paris under snow, the siege of St. Malo, and the liberation of Germany through Miller's unflinching lens. This book is not just a collection of images; it's a testament to courage, artistic vision, and historical documentation, offering unparalleled insight into a tumultuous era and the pioneering woman who documented it. ~ ~ ~ Please examine the photos closely.

  3. Fast & easy transaction. Packaged extremely well with a KJV Bible from the same $1.00 sale. Both books arrived in excellent used condition. Better than described. Overall, the two books are an outstanding value and replace a travelling/hospital visitation set I lost many years ago. Communications with the seller were outstanding, she was a true pleasure to do business with and I will watch for future offerings from her. AAAAA+++++
