Overview

Summary: "Polish-born artist Feliks Topolski traveled to the USSR in 1941 with a British transport convoy.

This book features a selection of original drawings made by Topolski during this expedition, remarkable examples of twentieth-century war art depicting a pivotal moment in modern history"--Provided by publisher.
