THE FORTIES IN PICTURES is one of a series of books that together
provide a comprehensive pictorial history of the 20th century, decade
by decade. With over 250 pictures, this volume is a unique record of
the greatest and most graphic images of the age, revealing the best
and worst of a turbulent era: from battlefield to beauty salon, from
blacked-out streets to the glittering screens of Hollywood's golden
age, from old enemies to new nations.
