(The latter consisting of photographs.) N2 - In 1944, in one of its more inspired moments, the British Ministry of Information dispatched Cecil Beaton ... to the Far East to take pictures of the British Empire and its allies at war. The result was not only a superb collection of photographs but a breathtakingly vivid written portrait of India, Burma, and China at a historic turning-point in their histories. These volumes integrate both elements fully for the first time, offering the complete text of Beaton's narrative and a truly comprehensive selection of over 200 photographs."--Amazon ER -
