Associated Press. The Instant It Happened

Harry N. Abrams, 1975. — 248 p.The Instant It Happened presents the most notable photographs from The Associated Press's 125 years of gathering news from the corners of the globe, and the stories behind them — of the men and women who caught the instant on film — in over 200 p. with over 100 photographs!The Editors looked for photographs that instantly tell a story — the great stories that make history and the simple stories of nameless men. Different stories with different meanings, but all are powerful: the first time a deaf boy hears his own voice; the tragedy of a fallen leader; man's historic first step on the moon; the touching story of a husband and father returned home from war. Every story will bring you back to the instant it happened — and you'll share in the emotion of the instant, emotions as different as the pictures that evoke them.
