The most arresting photographic images in our history-all the way up to the World Trade Center tragedy and the 2002 war in Afghanistan-come to life in this complete compilation of Pulitzer Prize-winning news and feature photos, along with the stories behind them.

More than 235 prize-winning photographs offer a year-by-year, dramatically visual chronicle of our times. Each beautifully reproduced image is accompanied by key information on how the shot was taken and the stunning story behind it, as told to author Hal Buell by the photographers. An accompanying timeline, placing each photo in its historical context, features yet another 265 photographs.

This unique and moving volume is completely up to date, including the 2000-2001 winners. Recent photos include images of students fleeing Columbine High School and the striking shot of federal agents taking Elian Gonzales from the arms of his relatives at gunpoint.

Mr. Dana

Photographs are Stunning, Often Overwhelming, Frequently Heart-Wrenching, Always Informative

After watching the documentary on Pulitzer Prize-Winning photographs, I was happy to find this book. It provides, of course, a lot more photographs than the documentary could cover, and has much more in depth background information on them as well. Some of these photographs I remember from the news, several of them are new to me, and I was enthralled by their stories.

Anyone interested in news, news photography, history, especially as seen through the camera lens, owes it to themselves to get this wonderful, well written and assembled book.

I just love it. I know I’m going to spend hours looking through it for years to come.

El libro está en mal estado. Pasta dañada. Stickers y sellos manchan las hojas por dentro. Pésima inversión.

I own all of the editions of "moments" the newest adds prize winners plus those not won in last edition. The first edition I carried all over the world and have added newspaper clips when the pictures are reprinted. The 1972 winner gets a lot of play. The 1945 winner is used more than a lot, it is a Marine Corps standard, as it should be.

Loved it, i use it as a coffee table book, and it's been a total hit during get togethers. I'm thinking of buying a second to cut out the photos and frame them.

'Moments' features many noteworthy photos. Though chronological, the index breaks the images down to four categories, somewhat unrelated to content.

Good book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Bought this after seeing some other Pulitzer Prize work on the internet, some of the images are tough to look at but I'm sure with everyone else that likes this sort of photography, the emotions and atmosphere captured by the photographer outweighs the sometime graphic photographs.

Great item, the worst delivery service

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 10, 2017

If i review the book then this is amazing. Not only there are photos of the pulitzer prize yearly winnings but also stories about the photos. However, whoever delivered the item was far from professional as left it outsode the house without notifying me.

Un classico per riflettere sulle icone del nostro tempo.

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on June 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ognuno di noi ha delle immagini iconiche in mente, ma è molto raro che si conosca il retroscena che le ha originate. Rarissimo conoscere il fotografo o fotografa, i rischi (a volte mortali) che ha corso, il lato profondamente umano di tutto il processo, l'impatto sull'opinione pubblica.
È proprio il senso dell'umanità che brulica, vive, lotta, si uccide, si salva, scappa, insegue, piange o gioisce che rende questo libro speciale. Il prolungare la storia dietro a ogni foto, al di là del valore simbolico dello scatto in sé.

Questa è una riedizione del precedente, che è ora in versione copertina rigida. Il formato quadrato è più compatto ed è stato lasciato più spazio al testo (inglese), rispetto alla versione che ho io. Le immagini sono un filo più sacrificate, ma la complessiva leggibilità è migliore.
L'ho preso per un regalo che fa seguito a un corso sull'etica.
Dovrei dare meno di 5 stelle, perché è arrivato con dei segni sulla costa e sulla piega della copertina. Ma do 5 stelle perché è veramente un libro speciale, da avere.

Spedizione impeccabile.

È un bellissimo libro che impreziosisce la parte di libreria dedicata alla fotografia. Mostra le fotografie vincitrici del Pulitzer e ne descrive la storia.
