1944:ROAD TO VICTORY-WWII REMEMBERED BOOK EXCELLENT CONDITION OF THIS WORLD WAR II REMEMBERED BOOK ~ 1944: ROAD TO VICTORY. ISSUED IN 1994 BY THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE.

Front endpaper: GI's preparing for D-Day landing in Normandy studied this map of Omaha beach. Red circles mark tank traps and obstacles, some under water. Oriented to the attacker's perspective, the map *looks* south rather than the usual north.

Back endpaper: Japanese map of New Guinea charts perils for American assault forces. For MacArthur, it provided an exercise in how to seize some bases while bypassing others in his advance toward the Philippines.

Book measures 11-1/4 x 8-3/4, 40 pages. Nicely detailed with information. Lots of illustrations throughout on every page. Since this was issued by the postal service, some pages have blank areas, where I believe you can adhere/hinge an appropriate stamp in this book album. (No stamps).
