Viac o knihe
Walking through Europe's battlefields today can evoke a sense of bewilderment—not for what remains visible, but for what has vanished. German photographer Alfred Buellesbach invites readers on a photographic journey through 34 legendary battlefields. A serene grain field in Austria was once the site of a massive knightly clash, while a tranquil forest conceals the grim history of the Battle of the Bulge. In the Somme, where over 1.5 million soldiers perished, sheep now graze over grass-covered trenches. Featuring 300 stunning photographs alongside text by Osprey editor Marcus Cowper, this work tells a poignant story that resonates with both armchair generals and travelers. Each battlefield is depicted through full-bleed panoramic images complemented by candid shots of the surrounding areas, including present-day cemeteries and memorials. This collection serves as a timeless tribute to landscapes forever marked by their brief moments of conflict. The featured battlefields span a wide range of historical events, from Alesia in 52 BC to the Seelow Heights in 1945, capturing the profound impact of war on these once-vibrant locations.
