Why read it?

1 author picked Studio Europe as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I came across this via a couple of keywords I typed into Google Books as part of my research for an abortive World War II-related nonfiction book. Up popped a reference to Studio Europe, which turned out to be a wonderful 1945 memoir by an American artist who travelled to Europe to draw the conflict.

His quickfire sketches complement his intensely atmospheric, witty, and compassionate account of his experiences. I can’t understand why this fantastic book never seems to be referenced in books about the war.
