Description
If you are looking for a remarkable, pictorial history book of the highly distinguished 84th Division during World War II, there is no better source! This is a unique book full of over 300 WWII photographs taken by Maurice Miller while serving in Europe with General Alexander Russell Bolling's division, the Railsplitters. General Bolling assigned Mr. Miller to be the principle photographer to record history in the making. His photographs were widely published, helped boost morale and chronicled the Division's impressive accomplishments. After the War, Miller was able to keep a duplicate set of photo prints for himself, which very, very fortunately, after many years of preservation effort, are now available in this one amazing book. From generals to soldiers at the front, concentration camps, POWS, Russians at the Elbe River, and numerous post-war events, Mr. Miller covered the war from his perspective, one that very few ever saw. Mr. Miller photographed with a passion, zeal and a sense of duty.A story is told here, you might say a 'visual diary' of how Mr. Miller portrayed his experiences. Though a pricey book as books go, this is ALSO a fantastic collection of photographs you will see no where else in the world! For any collector, or those interested in the work of talented photographers or anyone with an interest in the 84th division, this book is well worth every penny. It truly is one of of a kind. It can not be emphasized enough how much effort in all aspects went into the creation of this book!Please feel free to contact the author for any requests whatsoever: Mark Miller [email protected]
