Through outstanding studies of specific iconic images, Robert Hariman and John Louis Lucaites address powerfully the emotional resonance and political complexity of photojournalism. They demonstrate how the collective response to photographs can reveal national and cultural character. Their discussion of these themes is a service and tribute to all those who care about visual communication. Photojournalists and citizens alike can learn a great deal from this terrific book. - Peter Turnley, award-winning photojournalist
