    Full Description

    Arriving in Britain just as war was declared Lee Miller, an American with no permit to work, used her camera as her principle means of combat during World War II.

    Before Lee Miller left Britain to report in Europe she covered the Blitz, civilians braving the destruction around them and their contributions to the war effort as well as wartime fashion, camouflage and the women in the armed forces on the home front.

    This book curated by the Lee Miller Archives is Lee Miller’s photography in Britain during the war with an essay by Ami Bouhassane.
