“Photographer Lawrence Schiller’s images of the icons of Sixties America conjure a time and a place of incomparable cool.”
THE TIMES MAGAZINE, LONDON


During the tumultuous 1960s, Lawrence Schiller was on the nation’s political and cultural front lines: Whenever a headline-making event occurred, he was there. From Marilyn Monroe in the nude to Muhammad Ali in the ring. From Paul Newman and Robert Redford playing ping-pong to Lee Harvey Oswald after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. From the public advocacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy to the private world of LSD. Drawing from Schiller’s vast archive of portraiture and photojournalism, this book includes 67 of his most iconic photographs, and what emerges is more than a collection of images, but an eclectic and intimate portrait of an era.
