Description

Published to mark the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's historic visit to Berlin in June 1963, Kennedy in Berlin captures the event in a series of hitherto unpublished photographs by Ulrich Mack. Technically superb, Mack's photographs feature both the great set pieces of the visit, and candid, unscripted and personal moments in stunning close-up.

Reviews

"To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Kennedy's trip to Berlin, Hirmer Publishers has put Kennedy in Berlin with 120 black-and-white images, many of which have never been published. The photographs follow Kennedy as he traveled through Cologne, Bonn, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and West Berlin. . . . While the photographs tell a detailed and thorough story of the trip, there is also a strong sense of the tragedy that would happen five months later when Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas."
