Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the WWII victory,
'Victory' covers the war through "breaking news" stories and
photographs from the Associated Press - the main US chronicler of
the conflict. 'Victory' commemorates the 75th anniversary of the
end of WWII: May 8, 1945, VE Day; August 14, VJ Day; and September
2, the formal signing of the instrument of surrender. This stunning
book covers the war through contemporary Associated Press coverage
of 40 - 45 key events, plus human-interest accounts. The stories
and photographs are presented chronologically so that readers of
today can experience the scope of the war in the same way people of
that era learned of the events. From Germany's invasion of Poland
on September 1, 1939, to Japan's ceremonial signing of surrender
aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945, each
event is vividly brought to life through images and text from the
original articles; historian Alan Axelrod provides insightful
introductory text for each chapter.
