Synopsis:
Assembles a unique and rich trove of historical images and artefacts of World War II, collected in Caen - one of the French cities devastated by the pivotal conflict. Including imagery that has never before been available to readers outside France, as well as a concise historical atlas - replete with full-colour maps, rare colour photographs, period artwork, timelines and reproductions of fascinating letters, documents and historical objects - this beautiful and cutting-edge history offers a completely new overview of the modern era's most destructive war.
About the Author:
The Caen Memorial was established in Caen, France, in 1988. Regarded as the best World War II museum in France, the Caen Memorial provides a thought-provoking meditation on the evils of war, the importance of learning from past failures and successes, and the difficulty but necessity of finding lasting peace. World War II was first published in France as Guerre mondiale―Guerre totale in May 2010 to accompany an exhibit of the same name. Christopher Caines's most recent translation project was for the city of Dijon. His recent editorial work includes the “Special Report on Regulatory Reform” for the U.S. Senate, and his most recent essays appear in Reading Dance. Caines lives in New York City.
