A mainstay of Sports Illustrated, Walter Iooss Jr. ranks among the world's preeminent sports photographers. His newest collection, Gladiators, collects 175 photographs, most of them in color, celebrating the game of football. In his gritty and lyrical portraits of the game's greatest players and coaches, his candid studies of passionate fans and kids at play, and his sweeping panoramas of electrifying action shots, Iooss offers a vision of the game that is at once brutal and beautiful.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Better left in SI,
By Adam Evans (Misawa AB, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gladiators: 40 Years of Football (Hardcover)
While Walter Iooss has captured the spirt of football, from sandlot to the big show, too many of his panoramic shots have been laid-out across a full two page spread leaving the intended "heroes" centered in the spine of the book. There are also numerous pages that have been left blank for no apparent reason. If you really want some memorable Walter Iooss photographs you would be better off looking through old Sports Illustrated.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Another Iooss winner!,
