MOSTLY JUST A PHOTO GALLERY,

This review is from: Great News Photos and the Stories Behind Them (Paperback)
Faber has done a good job selecting the great news photos of history, although the work definately needs an update. He includes most of the great pictures we have all seen from the dawn of photography to 1976. They cover everything from the comical Einstein sticking out his tongue to the Buddhist's fiery suicide in Vietnam.But although the selection is comprehensive, we are told next to nothing about these photos themselves, except how they were taken. If there is an assassination, we do not even learn if the killer is caught! Usually nothing is said about the fate of the cameraman or his subjects. This lack of detail is quite frustrating, and turns the book into little more than a photo gallery with long captions by the pictures.
