Choose Me: Portraits of a Presidential Race (Newsweek Book)

Rating:
Summary: excellent historical photo essay
Review: This book shows the 1988 presidential campaign with everyone from Gary Hart to George Herbert Walker Bush in various stages of stumping. Some of the black-and-white are hilarious, some moving, but all are necessary in completely depicting a time in America's history with all its national and human impact.

Summary: Portraits of the 1988 Presidential Election
Review: This book very effectively shows the candidates of 1988 in black and white. The pictures are candid and mostly behind-the-scenes. These pictures are revealing because the candidates were often unaware they were being photographed. The Republican nominees, Bush and Quayle, are shown. So are the other GOP contenders, including; Al Haig, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole and Pete duPont. The Democrats include Michael Dukakis, Gary Hart, Bruce Babbitt, Richard Gephardt, Al Gore and others. The Foreward is written by Sam Donaldson.
