About the author










Nancy Bellantoni carefully searched her father's extensive South Pacific collection for visual materials that accurately reflect the context in which Natale Bellantoni's wartime art was created. She is a co-founder with her husband, Peter Galipault, of Movidea Inc., a design and marketing strategy firm in Boston.

Janice Blake set aside her freelance work in order to focus on The Battalion Artist at the request of her friend and former colleague Natale Bellantoni. She has edited books for the Brazelton Institute and the Harvard Business School Press. She has also taught writing at the Harvard Business School.

Natale Bellantoni was assigned to the US Navy's 78th Construction Battalion in the South Pacific during World War II before having a successful career as an art director in Boston.

Summary

Explores the three years, three months, and three days of Nat Bellantoni's life on the Pacific front in World War II. Now collected in a lavishly illustrated volume, his watercolours, sketches, and photographs offer a window onto one of the most significant moments in American history.
