Dawn of Planet of the Apes and Rise of the Planet of the Apes: The Art of the Films

The stunning new art book on Planet of the Apes! 

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
