Representaion Toward Books Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs

Collected here are the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs (updated to include winners through 2001)—pictures that influenced our thinking in times of crisis and sometimes stirred us to action. Among them are Joe Rosenthal's World War II photograph of the raising of the flag over Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, commemorating the more than 6,000 marines who died in the battle for that small Pacific island, and Robert Jackson's photograph of Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald, recalling the anguish of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The pictures document that we have lived in a violent age, showing the brutalities of war, racism, and despotism. But the Pulitzer photojournalists also recorded tender and compassionate moments, as in Brian Lanker's pictures of joyous parents at the birth of their child, or Scott Shaw's photographs of the rescue of a little girl trapped in a well. In coming centuries, these indelible images will inevitably be used to illustrate the triumphs and tragedies of our era.

Appraise Containing Books Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs

Every Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph since 1942 is given a 2-page spread. On one page is the photo, and on the facing page is a punchy write-up based largely on interviews with the photographer, either about the day the photo was taken or about how the photo affected the photographer. Considering that so many of the photos depict horrific scenes, how the photographers coped with what they saw ended up being a big part of the story. The writing is fast-paced, with a cadence that does get a

The images in this book each tell an amazing story and have so much emotion: from grief and sadness to anger to joy. The insights into the photographer was fascinating and gave me an insight to US journalism across the years.

Published by the Newseum in DC.It's been on our coffee table for a month now and every visitor thumbed through it: it's that compelling.

A very interesting read. I'd seen many of the pictures before, some of them many times, but I'd never seen the pictures with the explanations of their backgrounds. These changed my perspectives of many of the pictures. I would recommend reading this one if you have opportunity.

Great explanations to go along with winning photographs up until 1992.

Really enjoyed perusing this collection of Pulitzer winning photographs and photographer interviews: fascinating, scary, horrible, all at once. Worthy of your weekend. Prepare yourself and I would not show this to young children.

An absolutely stunning collection of every Pullitzer Prize winning photograph since the award has been given, along with commentary by each photographer involved in the picture.Harrowing, frightful, saddening, and uplifting all in one beautiful package.
