Liberty for All celebrates America's most beloved symbol- the Statue of Liberty- through the eyes of photographer Peter B. Kaplan, and the words of Lee Iacocca. This handsome volume, resplendent with magnificent photographs and lively text, brings to life the world-famous monument, from its humble birth in France, where it was conceived as a gift to America, to its role as a welcoming beacon for immigrants and as a symbol of freedom for people everywhere.

About the Author
For the past 25 years, the name Lee Iacocca has been a familiar entity on the American landscape. From his days at Ford Motor Company where he introduced the Mustang to his rescue of Chrysler Corporation as its Chairman and later to his authorship of two best-selling books, Lee Iacocca personifies America's "can-do" spirit. It was this same spirit that in 1982 led President Reagan to appoint him head of a citizens group to restore the Statue of Liberty.

Liberty for All -- A book for all who love liberty,
By A Customer
This review is from: Liberty for All (Hardcover)
In a time when patriotic feelings run deep, the Statue of Liberty represents our history and hopes for the future. This book blends the past and present into a work that creates a connection between you and Lady Liberty. The photography is exceptional. The photographer uses vistas and angles that few have ever seen. His use of color and light paint the Statue in unique combinations. While the photography alone makes the book a treasure, the story of the restoration is captivating. The personal perspectives and dedication of those involved in the restoration, give the reader a whole new appreciaiton for this massive undertaking. I'm proud to keep this book on my coffee table. Friends who pick it up, don't just comment about the incredible photography, they sit and read the stories and history. I've developed a great new respect for the Great Lady Liberty.

This review is from: Liberty for All (Hardcover)
This beautiful book has it all: beautiful pictures, informative text. A wonderful tribute to Lady Liberty!
PS: This book is about the centennial of the statue of Liberty. Although there are tons of pictures taken after 1986, almost all of them date from before 9-11...
