Editorial Review

If you really want to know what the 20th century looked like from a front-row seat at the main stage, this book will show you. Alfred Eisenstaedt, who was born in 1898 and lived until 1995, apparently didn't miss a thing. To give but a glimpse of the view he captured, this volume, published on the hundredth anniversary of his birth, includes scores of his most famous photographs.

5-0 out of 5 stars Light and more light
Eisenstaedt was for more than four decades a central maker of those images through which America held up a mirror to itself, and to the world. His remarkable persistence helped produce some of the most famous photographs of the twentieth century, including the signature- piece photograph of the sailor kissing the nurse at Times Square on V-J Day. Though he presented many pictures of scenes from everyday life in America he is perhaps best known for portraits of the famous, from all walks of life. His Blanchard and Davis captures the pugnacious spirit of the great West Point running duo, his Buckley family portrait captures the casual elegance of America's most famed Conservative intellectual family, his cold camera catches the very epitome of evil hatred in the famed photoportrait of Goebbels, his most difficult subject Hemingway nonetheless projects a somewhat misleading strength and solidity.
5-0 out of 5 stars Simple Genius
Many people consider Mr. Alfred Eisenstaedt the defining photojournalist of the 20th century.His best known work is probably the photograph of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square on VJ Day in 1945.In this superb volume, you can test that assessment with your own eyes.The images in this book were culled from over 290,000 frames available to the editor.I found the quality to be remarkably and consistently high.The reproduction quality is more than adequate as well.Read more
