"A World War II Photo Essay." A World War II Photo Essay. http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/ww2/photoessay.htm (accessed April 9, 2014).

This photo essay put on by the University of Illinois shows many important pictures from World War II. This will be my main source of World War II images for my paper. They share photos from home and from war. Unfortunately this source does not have any analysis of the photos however the selection is still very good.

Michael C.C. Adams. The Best War Ever: America and World War II. (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994).

This essay discusses World War II’s affect on the nation in a positive way. He discusses the effect the media had on American’s perception of the war. He discusses how the allies became heroes and the Axis powers were the villains. A major topic in my paper is the discussion of how this topic came about.

Robert Hariman and John Louis Lucaites. No Caption Needed: iconic Photographs, Public culture, and Liberal Democracy. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2007).
In No Caption Needed, the Authors explore and analyze some of the most popular and influential images in history. There are many war photos in this book however the chapter that I am most interested in analyzing is the fourth chapter titled, “Rasing Flags in Iwo Jima and Ground Zero.” This chapter discusses the two different issues of war and the response of the nation. A major topic in my paper is how the ideas have changed from WW2 to todays time and this chapter will be very helpful
Robert Harimanand John Louis Lucaites. "Performing Civic Identity: The Iconic Photograph Of The Flag Raising On Iwo Jima." Quarterly Journal of Speech 88, no. 4 (2002): 363-392. This chapter discusses the ultimate effect of the photograph of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. This is a piece that I will intensely be analyzing in my paper. I will discuss the ultimate effect of nationalism that is portrayed in this photo and that is what the Authors discuss in this chapter.

Thayer Soule. Shooting the Pacific War: Marine Corps combat photography in WWII. (Lexington: University of Kentucky Press, 2000).

This source is interesting because it comes directly from the front lines. The author comes directly from a marine unit and followed such groups through out the war. It is interesting to consider how photographs influence those directly in the conflict and that is why I chose this source.
