Octavo. 269pp. Kennerly's first book. He won the Pulitzer Prize at twenty-five, and both before and afterward his photographs have captured the major cultural and geopolitical moments that defined the 20th century. His range includes Gerald and Betty Ford (for whom he acted as an official photographer), Robert F. Kennedy moments before his assassination, fallout from the wars in Vietnam and Cambodia, the massacre at Jonestown, and the scene of George W. Bush's learning of Al Gore's concession of the 2000 election. Bound red cloth with black cloth over boards. Mild rubbing along edges and spine, else near fine in near fine dust jacket, which features reviews from Henry Kissinger and Ansel Adams, two figures probably never otherwise in the same venue.
