5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a sports book, October 13, 2001
By 
This review is from: The Best of Leifer (Hardcover)
The image on the cover of the book is perhaps the most famous sports image of the 20th Century. While at Sports Illustrated, Neil made incredible pictures by capturing the "decisive moment" in sports both on and off the field. But many people do not realize that Leifer also covered celebrities and political events for other publications. This book is long overdue and should place Leifer on everyone's top ten list of great documentary photographers. A must have for photography book collectors and popular culture fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Celebration of American Photojournalism, January 8, 2002
By 
Mike Treder (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Leifer (Hardcover)
More than just a good-looking coffee table book, and much more than simply a book of sports photography, this is a celebration of American photojournalism in the last half of the 20th century. When I first leafed through it, I was amazed at how many iconic photographs were taken by just one man. Leifer has a gift, and we are fortunate that he is willing and able to share it with us. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic of Sports Photography, February 14, 2010
This review is from: The Best of Leifer (Hardcover)
If you enjoy classic sports or are a photography buff this book is a "must have". It is well written and the images are incredible. Neil Leifer has seen so many of the great sports events of our generation and his images truly are amazing. It is one thing to attend an event and another entirely to tell the story with photos.
