John Jochimsen worked as a photojournalist for fifty years,
devoting himself to the breaking news stories of the day. This book
contains over 100 of his most fascinating photographs. From a
unique picture of Haile Selassie and Winston Churchill, to rare
pictures of Queen Elisabeth II and other Statesmen, this book has
dozens of examples of pre-digital photojournalism. In addition to
high profile photographs like the personal Christmas card photo for
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the book also includes John's
extensive work for the Ministry of Defence showcasing in particular
their latest military aircraft. Often risking his life to document
many world conflicts his assignments included prolonged spells in
the Sudan, Kenya, Liberia and Malaya, where he was caught in a
fire-fight between British troops and insurgents. His pictures
defined an era, and appeared regularly in a string of newspapers
and magazines across the globe. This large format photobook shows
these great pictures in all their glory and features several from
John's biography '80 Years Gone In A Flash'.
