C. L. Sulzberger (1912–1993)

Decided to revisit the reprint of this book from my teen years. Quick overview of WWII, most glaring were some of the simple mistakes in the photo captions. Its a good coffee table book, fairly well skewed to the Allied view of things.

Who knows how good but it was a useful interesting supplement when I read "The Second World War" by John Keegan. Mentioned by other reviewers was that it is the American point of view, might I mention any other point of view are usually either very fallible and bias, too politically correct [as this is] or controversial, truth is hard to come by

In general, American Heritage picture histories haven't aged very well, and this is no exception. The wide-ranging selection of photographs necessarily includes mostly examples of then state-of-the-art documentary photographs which sometimes still resonate, sometimes not. The text is very facile, typical greatest-generation hero/villain stuff, with a minimum of analysis, especially reliable analysis..
