The Pulitzer Prize photographs : capture the moment

Typically published on the front pages of newspapers, the Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs are the pictures that captured the essence of world events. They bear stark witness against the brutalities of war, racism and despotism. Others are exemplars of heroism, compassion and the strivings of ordinary people for a better life. Because of their integrity and universality of themes, the Pulitzer photographs appeal to viewers across barriers of time, place and language. These 122 indelible images - covering the years from 1941 to 2000 - illustrate the triumphs and tragedies of half a century.Moderator - Must have been scanned at too low a resolution because the photos have a distinct blurr to them. In addition, the pages have a delay in rendering. The text is also not crisp probably for the same reason as the photos. For a book that is 100% about the photos, the scanner should have taken more care.
