A Great Photographic Journey

This is a great book which takes you on a photographic journey through presidential campaigns. The campaign for President in America has always been major political events and it's logic that there were people with cameras in hand ready to capture what could be history in the making. As a photographer myself I enjoyed browsing through this book. On The Campaign Trail is an interesting book for anyone interested in American history.

A great compilation of campaigns...

Wow, this book provides a great walk through American campaigns, both past and very recent. The campaign posters that are included are suburb -- some of the best available -- and the author does a nice job with the analysis portions of the book.

Great Political History..Visually Dynamic

A visually very interesting look at American Presidential campaigns..particularly timely now..much of what appears is new..at least to me..great addition to the line up of campaign books that always seems to come out at this point in the electoral cycle.
