Five Thousand Days: Press Photography in a Changing World Book

From front-lines to boxing rings, political downfalls to private triumphs, the press photographer can define a moment forever, burning their vision onto the international consciousness via newspaper pages all over the world. Beginning with revolution in Prague, ending with World Cup victory, this compelling collection of images from some of the world's leading photographers documents a world in constant change. Across battlefields and red carpets, art galleries and global summits, packed stadiums and ruined homes, Five Thousand Days chronicles the pinnacles of success and achievement, as well as the depths of human suffering and misery. Many images are iconic, as familiar to the reader as the event itself; others, filed too late for printing deadlines, cropped, or lost in the churning news process, are seen in full for the first time. Uncompromising and extraordinarily moving, Five Thousand Days is a unique fifteen-year journey over the Millennium through the eyes of the finest image-makers of the period.Read More
