Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Great works of art, inspired by conflict.

Great world conflicts have produced not only great military heroes but also great artists who have documented the bravery, valor, and daring of the armed forces and the bloody anguish of battle. Here are the best of their works, oversized reproductions of the most moving paintings and illustrations ever created in the field of combat art. Encompassing the many wars that have involved U.S. troops, this gallery of outstanding images captures the fighting from every angle. The highly expressive paintings range from majestic land-, sea-, and airscapes, with all the branches of the armed services portrayed, to dramatic close-ups of hand-to-hand combat. Charts and maps clarify particular scenes, and first-hand testimonies of the men and women who participated in the battles add an extra dimension.
