Includes a note by the editor. Photographer John Phillips has experienced firsthand some of the most decisive and turbulent events of the 20th century. As one of the very first photo-journalists for 'Life' magazine, Phillips reported from London in the days of Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson, recorded the birth of the European jet set from the French Riviera, documented the invasion of Austria by Hitler's forces -- all this before he was even forty years old! At the End of WWII, Phillips was there to capture the Teheran conference with Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, as well as the rise of charismatic Yugoslavian General Tito. In the 1950s Phillips chronicled with clarity and insight the growing Arab-Israeli conflict. Collected here are not only Phillips' stunning visual records of our time, but his intelligent remembrances of events large and small -- told with wit and candor. Together the words and pictures form of one of the most accessible and enjoyable documents of 20th century history. In the tradition of his peers Cornell Capra and Alfred Eisenstaedt, John Phillips is a master photographer employing a social empathy which never interferes with his elegant visual sense. John Phillips was born in Bouira, Algeria, on November 13, 1914. French by birth, with a British father and an American mother, his early childhood was spent in an Arab world before his family moved to Paris and then to Nice. In 1936 he was hired by Life, and his picture stories for the magazine over almost three decades helped to shape modern photojournalism. He resigned from Life's staff in the early 1950s and went on to work with Jacques Tati, the French film-maker, on M. Hulot's Holiday and other films. Settling in New York City, Phillips published several books of reportage, among them A Will To Survive (1976), about Israel, Yugoslav Story (1984), It Happened in Our Lifetime (1985), and in 1994, Poet and Pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupery. He has been decorated in France with the titles of Chevalier and Officier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. His photographs have been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide and published in many newspapers and magazines, including Fortune, Time, The Independent, The Daily Telegraph Magazine, Epoca, Corriere della Sera, and Paris-Match. John Phillips died in New York City on August 22, 1996, shortly before the publication of this book. Bookseller Inventory #0. Bookseller Inventory # 003361
