Hardback book with Dust Jacket Photographs by P.F. Bentley on assignment for TIME magazine Prologue by Roger Rosenblatt Epilogue by Michael Kramer Text by Rebecca Buffum Taylor First Printing: January 1993 Photographs Copyright 1992, 1993 by P.F. Bentley Text Copyright 1993 by Epicenter Communications " You've seen many pictures of Bill Clinton on the presidential campaign trail - but few that can match the intimate, candid photos in CLINTON: PORTRAIT OF VICTORY. This book is candidate Clinton's private visual diary - the diary he might have kept, had he the time and objectivity. But early on Clinton gave unprecedented access to the noted photojournalist P.F. Bentley, who was on special assignment for TIME magazine, allowing him to become a fly-on-the-wall ... and enabling him to observe and record for TIME and for us the very soul of the campaign. " " In this book, in more than 125 striking duotone photos, Bentley evokes the energy and hustle, the highs and lows of a frequently tough journey - and he captures the essence of Clinton, the intrepid campaigner. Here the candidate braves an uncertain primary, exhibits fortitude in the face of scandal, huddles informally with advisors, and makes his way through flags, lights, and mikes ... ever reaching out to an embracing, hope-filled electorate. " " Here black-and-white - with its uncanny power to probe the inner truth of things - illuminates Clinton's marriage to the real Hillary ... comments upon his remarkable professional and personal relationship with running mate Al Gore ... and follows him on the road and in the air, revealing a man always surrounded by an impressive entourage and yet isolated ... a dedicated leader whose nature is deeper, more introspective, and more intuitive than the nation ever thought. " " With insightful essays by award-winning writers Roger Rosenblatt and Michael Kramer and narrative captions that highlight the big events of the campaign, this handsomely designed volume is one of the most provocative, beautiful - and telling - books to be published on Clinton: the man ... the candidate ... the victor. " Both the book and dust jacket are in excellent condition with only very minor wear. No torn or ripped pages and no markings or writing. |
