Award-winning photographer Harry Benson came to America in
1964 with the Beatles and knew he never wanted to leave.
Working for the most popular magazines in the country-
Life, People, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair-he has
photographed everyone and everything, from the famous to
the infamous, from the sublime to the absurd, from Bob
Guccione styling a model to Truman Capote dancing with
transvestites. Whether they are images of Steven Spielberg,
Richard Nixon, or Andy Warhol, or shots of music concerts,
political rallies, or sports events, the pictures Benson
has gathered in this book capture the essence of this
country's pop culture over the last four decades. No story is too small and no personality too big for the
finest photographic chronicler of America's constantly
changing and vastly entertaining public spectacle-a realm
where success and achievement only sometimes go hand-in-
hand. More irreverent than his previous books, Harry
Benson's America shows a side of the photographer's
work that hasn't been seen before, shedding new light on
our nation in turn.
