Opis

Virtually unknown to the public or historians, White House photographers have developed amazing access to the Presidents of the United States over the past half-century—becoming "ultimate insiders" not only in capturing poignant and powerful images, but also in gaining deep insight into presidential lives. In this book, long-time White House Correspondent Kenneth T. Walsh tells their stories, emphasizing observations about the presidents the photographers got to know so well along with other key figures close to those presidents—including the First Ladies, members of Congress, and important world leaders.
