The Great Life Photographers reviews

‘To freeze time, to capture the moment, to put the viewer slap-bang into the action, to make the everyday astounding, to celebrate the beautiful and record moments of giveaway tenderness in human lives – that’s what LIFE magazine did in its 36-year reign as the crucible of photojournalism’ – John Walsh, The Independent

‘A spellbinding history of the latter half of the 20th century … a stunning book’ – The Daily Express

‘There are some truly startling and iconic wartime images, but politics, science and popular culture also play their part … more than a collection of great photos: it’s an essential historic document’ – Practical Photography

‘Stunning … the pictures here offer a remarkable record of the century. … will stay long in the mind after a single viewing and say more than words can ever do. … Simply breathtaking in its range and quality, this is an extraordinary book that readers will want to return to, and take something new from, time and time again’ – Book of the Week, Press & Journal
