Description
Virtually all his life, Dilip Sarkar has studied the dramatic events of summer 1940, collating in the process an impressive archive of contemporary photographic and documentary material. His main interest is in the human experience of war, as reflected by his privileged relationship with survivors and the relatives of casualties. Consequently he has borrowed and copied their personal snapshots, in so doing producing an unique photographic record of our Finest Hour. 'Every Picture Tells a Story' and this is certainly the case with those photographs in this eagerly awaited book. These pictures are not just windows through which we can glimpse the past, but an ever-changing scene of powerful vignettes.
