Lee Miller's War: Beyond D-Day by Anthony Penrose (2014-09-01) Paperback

The full range of Lee Miller's outstanding photographs from World War II, accompanied by her brilliant dispatches.Lee Miller's work for Vogue from 1941 to 1945 sets her apart as a photographer and writer of extraordinary ability. Her words combine immediacy with acute observation, and deep personal involvement with professional detachment. Complementing her writing here are two hundred remarkable photographs from the Lee Miller Archives. They show war-ravaged cities, buildings, and landscapes; but above all they portray war-resilient people—soldiers, leaders, medics, evacuees, prisoners of war, the wounded, the villains, and the heroes.There is the raw edge of combat portrayed at the siege of St. Malo and in the bitterly fought Alsace campaign, and the disbelief and outrage Miller describes on witnessing the victims of Dachau. The war's horror is relieved by the spirit of postliberation Paris, where she indulged in frivolous fashions and recorded memorable conversations with Picasso, Cocteau, Eluard, Aragon, and Colette. The book ends with Miller's on-the-scene report giving a sardonic description of Hitler's abandoned house in Munich and the looting and burning of his alpine fortress at Berchtesgaden, which marked a symbolic end to the war. 160 duotone illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miller Tells Her Own Story
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2024

Miller tells her own story through correspondence and published stories. To my surprise, Miller is quite a good writer. (She's very clear she doesn't find writing easy.) Her crisp writing compliments her pictures. Her letters to her editors are pushy, demanding, not understanding. Anyone lacking her talent would have been assigned to bridal showers. But what an astonishing, incandescent talent she was. The book's a treasure put together by her WWII lover and her son.

AS I just returned from a trip visiting Normandy and the WWII beaches, towns and other sites, I was very interested in reading more about the women journalists who were there that I heard and read about while visiting sites in France. Lee Miller particularly interested me as she was a very unique female to be in that role as she was an ex model, actress, artist muse and finally photo journalist who worked for Vogue (yeah Vogue) as a war correspondent during WWII. Great photo collection from her experience. If you are a WWII enthusiastic definitely worth a look.

I ran across the book at the SF MOMA and between the amazing photographs and the narrative, it was hard to put down. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in photography and history.

Love all her work - had waited to buy this but realized I can't live without. Anyone who hasn't read about her and her work - I also recommend reading up her and especially about her photojournalism during WW2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forward into battle
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2015
Verified Purchase
A terrific book about an extraordinary woman, who was a great beauty, a muse to the surrealists and turned into a staggeringly accomplished war reporter and photographer, herself famously photographed toward the the end of the war having a bath in Hitler's own bath. The photographs, as you'd expect, are marvellous, the reporting remarkable, the sights recorded often brutal. Highly recommended.

Des photos rares, parfois sinistres, parfois amusantes (la baignoire d'Hitler), une femme à la vie trépidante, un œil étonnant sur la guerre.
