[pure-silver] Re: Library of Congress photos of the war years

My father gave me a set of books titled 'A Pictorial
History of the War', there are five volumes, the first
was published in 1940, with a volume published in each
successive war.  Although the bindings are a gorgeous
embossed leather, the actual print quality is not that
great, but the power of the images is breathtaking.   

One of the things that sticks with me is how much
propaganda and misunderstanding of the situation is
revealed in the captions of the photos.   It is
difficult to imagine what it must have been like to
live through those times.
