"Malcolm Fleming's recently published book of World War II-related photographs represents a refreshing change to their normal relegation as book inserts. Indeed, his photo collection is elegant in its simplicity and conciseness; Fleming lets his pictures do the talking in this handsome new volume."-- H-War "Most vividly . capture[s] ordinary people caught in the midst of war . Anyone interested in the history of combat photography and the Second World War will be thankful that Fleming's work has been preserved for future generations.INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY June 2016"-- INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY "Anyone interested in the history of combat photography and the Second World War will be thankful that Fleming's work has been preserved for future generations."-- Indiana Magazine of History "As a combat photographer for the U.S.

Army Signal Corps during World War II, Malcolm F. Fleming captured on film aspects of the conflict that are often overlooked, especially the devastation unleashed on German cities by Allied forces. His poignant images of civilians attempting to restart their lives amidst the rubble, the complicated relationship between the GIs and the defeated populace, and soldiers on their way home are a welcome addition to the history of the Greatest Generation."--Ray E. Boomhower, author of "One Shot": The World War II Photography of John A. Bushemi "Malcolm Fleming's simple but devastating visual narrative of war, occupation, and homecoming in 1945 does through pictures what Ernie Pyle managed in words: tell the story of one piece of World War II as it was seen from under the brim of a GI's helmet. From the April meeting of U.S.

and Soviet troops by the banks of the Elbe, to the ruined streets of fire-bombed Darmstadt and the silenced stadium at Nuremberg, Fleming's camera recorded the troops' encounters with scenes of violence and loss whose dimensions they could barely comprehend."--Eric Sandweiss, Indiana University "In Malcolm Fleming's case the Army made a smart choice when it took this supply clerk who had worked with a camera as a kid and trained him to be a combat photographer. Off he went to Europe with his Eymo camera to make moving pictures and a small Vollenda for still images. The result is this magnificent photo diary composed of Mac Fleming's selection of images he made and kept, along with his field notes."--James H. Madison, from the foreword.
