Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardback. Dust Jacket, Both in Fine condition. Not Inscribed. Large Format. 316 Pages. Fully illustrated throughout. This is a heavy book that will incur extra postage overseas. Color photography by Gerald A Meehl. Pacific legacy presents something else unique among World War 11 histories, an unprecedented color record - spanning nearly 30 years - of dramatic wartime relics that survived for decades on most of the Pacific Island Battlefields. American landing craft and tanks are still there on treacherous reefs and beaches where trafically they were stopped by enemy fire so long ago, aircraft of both sides lie hidden in jungles where they crashed, battle scarred Japanese pillboxes and artillery emplacements still stand sentinel. and packed coral landing strips for our heavy bombers remain as good as new. Such evocative memento mori have been captured beautifully by Jerry Meehl, probably the only photographer to have trod so many of these far flung battle sites, some of them still rife underfoot with unstable explosives and now off limits, as Iwo Jima, once again a Japanese stronghold. The authors also searched official archives for pictures that really show the agonies of combat, and in these one often sees the very tanks and and amtracs that still remain on distant invasion beaches. Also uncovered were captured photos of Japanese pillboxes and gun emplacements newly built in dramatic contrast to what they look like now.…
