Lee Miller's work for Vogue from 1941-1945 sets her apart as a
photographer and writer of extraordinary ability. The quality of
her photography from the period has long been recognized as
outstanding, and its full range is shown here, accompanied by her
brilliant despatches. Starting with her first report from a field
hospital soon after D-Day, the despatches and nearly 160
photographs show war-ravaged cities, buildings and landscapes, but
above all they portray the war-resilient people - soldiers,
leaders, medics, evacuees, prisoners of war, the wounded, the
villains and the heroes. There is the raw edge of combat portrayed
at the siege of St Malo and in the bitterly fought Alsace campaign,
and the disbelief and outrage Miller describes on witnessing the
victims of Dachau. The war's horror is relieved by the spirit of
post-liberation Paris, where she inudulged in frivoluous fashions
and recorded memorable conversations with Picasso, Cocteau, Eluard,
Aragon and Colette. The book ends with Miller's first-on-the-scene
report giving a sardonic description of HItler's abandoned house in
Munich, and the looting and burning of his alpine fortress at
Berchtesgaden, which marked a symbolic end to the war. David E.
Scherman, the renowned war photojournalist who shared many of
Miller's assignments, contributes a foreword.
