The LIFE photographer, trusted and intrepid like no other,
went to the beachhead, behind closed doors, backstage, into
the corridors of power. And so, in this book, are Robert Capa's
imagery from the D-Day landing, Carl Mydans's of MacArthur
striding ashore, Margaret Bourke-White's evidence of the
Holocaust, David Douglas Duncan's Korea, Larry Burrows's
Vietnam. Here are Ralph Morse's account of the Mercury
Seven astronauts and Joe McNally's memorable work done in
the aftermath of September H. Here, quieter but no less
compelling, is W. Eugene Smith's "Country Doctor." Here is
Bill Eppridge's "Panic in Needle Park," as well as his poignant,
painful picture of Bobby Kennedy, slain. Here are the
delightful photos: Alfred Eisenstaedt's children at a puppet
show, George Silk's trick-or-treaters. Here are intimate,
defining--and revealing-- portraits of celebrities, from Pab[o
Picasso, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe to
the Beaties, Eric Clapton, Michael Jordan, Barbra Streisand
and Steve Martin. Here is Lennart Nilsson's extraordinary
document from inside the womb. This is a volume of living
history-the history of our times, as seen by photographers
who captured it for LIFE, the great American magazine. |
