| Publisher Description: A collection of thirty-six brush and ink line drawings from WWII veteran and commercial artist Jack Smith. Each of the stark, black and white line drawings reproduced in this book capture the essence of the war in the Pacific, the terrain, the ships, the men. All were drawn from iconic photographs captured by professional and amateur photographers and journalists who witnessed the fighting firsthand. Years after the war, but with the memories of his time in the U.S. Navy fresh, Jack rendered by hand the images that spoke to him most clearly |
