4.9/5 (19054 ratings)

Description:David J. Marcou’s All the Best is the first complete history of Britain’s most popular WWII magazine, Picture Post. Published online in 2009, it was released in paperback form in early 2013, just before the 75th anniversary of the magazine’s startiup (in October 1938). The front-cover photo for All the Best is Bert Hardy’s very popular photo of two showgirls chatting on a beach railing with the wind blowing up Pat Stewart’s legs: a photo taken on a dare with an inexpensive camera. Hardy was the most successful of all the great Picture Post photojournalists, who also included Thurston Hopkins, Grace Robertson, Leonard McCombe, Felix Mann, and Kurt Hutton. Many notable writers worked for Picture Post, too, including James Cameron, Bert Lloyd, Anne Scott-James, and J. B. Priestley. Although Picture Post ran only 19 years, they were some of the most memorable years in British journalism history. Hardy and Cameron both did stellar work during WWII and teamed up in 1950 in Korea to cover the most pivotal battle for the UN side, Inchon; they also covered UN atrocities at Pusan, but their atrocities photo-essay was aborted on the presses by the magazine’s publisher, Sir Edward Hulton. In the process, the great Picture Post editor Sir Tom Hopkinson was sacked for defending his journalists. Hulton and pioneering picture editor Stefan Lorant started the magazine in 1938, but Lorant, who’d been a prisoner of Hitler for six months in 1933, fled England in 1940 for America because he feared being caught in England as a staunch adversary of Hitler in Picture Post.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
