Buell, Hal

The Pulitzer Prize has come to represent the pinnacle of achievement in news photography. Here, in one beautifully produced volume is every Pulitzer Prize winning photograph from 1942 to the present.

Historical photographs and quotes from survivors, newspapers, magazines, battle reports, and medal of honor citations help recount the ten-day battle on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima in February, 1945.

Reprints every photograph to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize from 1942 through 1999, each with a description of the story behind the photograph; and includes four essays that examine developments in photographic technology and their impact on photojournalism.
