Front Row Seat - A Photographic Portrait of the Presidency of George W. Bush

Klappentext With an extraordinary collection of images, many never before published, Chief White House Photographer Eric Draper presents a compelling, behind-the-scenes view of the entire presidency of George W. Bush, from dramatic events such as 9/11 to relaxed, int "Draper's particular advantage, though, comes with his reportorial pictures. A former Associated Press photographer who covered Bush's 2000 campaign, Draper has an eye for action... The reportorial pictures are most evocative in the long section on 9/11, when Draper had exclusive access to the president as events unfolded."--Massimo Calabresi, Time Magazine's Lightbox blog "Placing politics aside may prove harder for some then others, but if given the chance, the book presents a body of work that can't be found anywhere else. Draper seems comfortable to let others tip the scale one way or another in how the Bush legacy will be remembered. Instead, he presents a man that history is just starting to contextualize and allows for his images to speak for themselves."--Nathaniel Grann, The Washington Post Zusammenfassung With an extraordinary collection of images, many never before published, Chief White House Photographer Eric Draper presents a compelling, behind-the-scenes view of the entire presidency of George W.
