Kurzbeschreibung
Official companion to the National Geographic Television Special airing in November 2010, The President's Photographer is the intimate story of the men and women who are both visual historians and key links between the public and the Presidents. Like the film, this behind-the-scenes invitation features the images and recollections of the nine professionals who have served as official White House photographers. (President John F. Kennedy appointed the first, Cecil Stoughton, in 1960; all predecessors were with the U.S. Navy or Park Service). Five of the nine are alive today, and in rare personal interviews, they recount the stories behind the remarkable photographs. Expressive close-ups of presidents reveal moments of joy, reflection, and turmoil over public issues and private challenges. Unexpected angles cast new light on historic events. Through both iconic and little-known images, this book offers a fresh perspective on life and work behind the famous facade of the White House.

The photographers of state
11. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
`The President's Photographer' presents the work of, mainly the last nine president's personal photographers. The book includes descriptions from these men, who have unprecedented access to the head of state. They tell what it is like to walk the White House and its grounds. No matter what your political persuasion, this is an interesting collection, especially with these in depth analysis's of presidential life.
The one disappointment that came in reading this book is that it states," Fifty years inside the Oval Office', yet there is a preponderance of Obama photos. I was really expecting a more varied coverage of the last 50 years instead of just a few photos of Kennedy and Nixon and Ford. There are a few photos of older presidents, including Lincoln and the first photo of a president in office, James Polk.
It is interesting to see the more casual approach to recording the life of the president, instead of formal stiff group pictures. The small personal events are well covered and it is an attractive book; just do not expect a huge number of photos from the earlier part of the 60's and 70's.

Better Title: One President's Photographer
23. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a former White House staffer for two presidents who knew two of the WH photographers, I was anticipating going through this book. But the title, "Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office," is highly misleading. This volume is an homage to Barack Obama, and if you are interested in any of the other 11 presidents of the last five decades, you will be highly disappointed.
There are over 80 shots of Obama, more than all the other presidents combined. Ike gets three shots, JFK five, and I couldn't find any of Carter.
Puff piece, not worth the money. National Geographic should be ashamed.

Great coverage of Presidency

I have watched the National Geographic video

and bought this book as a complement. The book covers at least 50 years of Presidency and good information in between the pictures. A must have for me, although I did like the movie better because it was more dynamic.
