Condition: New

Captured by the lenses of the world's photojournalists, these Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs paint a dramatic and memorable montage of each year, from World War II to the first years of the twenty-first century. Here are the moments on which history turned: five Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima, Babe Ruth's final salute at Yankee Stadium, Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald, the fallen students at Kent State, the destruction of the World Trade Center, the invasion of Iraq, and most recently, the catastrophic Hurricane Katrina. Etched with emotion, fury, and passion, each photograph transports the reader back in time to experience the moment in person. This collection is a testament to the power of photography to compel, provoke, inspire, and above all, preserve.
