This three-volume collection includes Volumes Six, Seven, and Eight of The War Illustrated, a comprehensive contemporary pictorial record of World War II published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. between 1943 and 1945. Edited by the prolific journalist Sir John Hammerton, who was well-known for creating popular encyclopedias and photographic histories of both World Wars, this set provides an extensive look at the conflict across land, sea, and air. The books are bound in their distinctive publisher's red cloth with embossed black lettering and a gilded laurel and sword motif on the front boards and spines, with Volume Eight featuring a striking color frontispiece of General Dwight D. Eisenhower alongside a detailed general index, maps, diagrams, and thousands of photographic illustrations. The volumes are in good vintage condition, exhibiting minor shelf wear, light bumping to the spine ends and corners, and typical age-toning to the internal pages, but remaining structurally sound with clean text and vibrant illustrations.
