A more concise, profound, or essential book on the subject does not exist

Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the 20th century

Her colorful images here - some drawn and some collaged, including many historical photos and artifacts - add a new layer of complexity, and make the search for understanding in images of the past part of the story
