For sixty years, World War II has been seen in black and white, in newsreels, magazines, and books. Color photography was still in its infancy when the United States entered World War II. With the war on, the short supplies of color film stock made color photographs and films even more rare. Now, specially commissioned research has unearthed a remarkable color record, much of which has never been published before. The authors have scoured the National Archives, as well as other public and private collections, to find over 300 startling color images of America at war.
