In the introduction, Feldman mentions that the book was prompted by the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII in 1995. He had served as a lieutenant of infantry in several battles including the Battle of the Bulge. He began the book by making collages of letters in a variety of fonts for each letter of the alphabet. These designs were concerned with not only letter identity but also with the formal relationships of their distinctive shapes within the geometry of the circle. The alphabetical letter picture was complemented by printing names, places and events on and in varied fonts and sizes along side of the typographic letter pictures. The looseleaf notebook design was chosen to allow the prints to lie flat. The second volume is a compendium that annotates the meaning of the words or phrases which Feldman selected to signify the places, events and people important to the history of WWII. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
