About the Author

I was a World War II combat photographer in the European Theater who followed Patton's Fifth Army from Algiers, across Sicily, the landing at Anzio and the Liberation of Rome. I was also one of two photographers chosen to use the first color film, Kodachrome, given to the Army by Eastman Kodak. Allowed to keep my "outtakes", my private collection of World War II color still photography provides an unique visual record of powerful historical moments. This book of photography from that period to preserves for posterity these stunning color images of WWII.
