    <body><![CDATA[This book was full of beautiful, classic photos of Americana. Some were, of course, very famous, while others surprised me. For example, the portrait of Marliyn Monroe in the ballerina dress was actually shot for Life magazine and then secretly sold by the photographers' son to the government of Poland. The horror of war and the glory of Camelot were both represented as well. I loved the picture of Jack and Jackie on the yacht before they were married. The picture of Bobby lying in his own blood after being shot in the hotel was paralyzing. The book ended with its most famous picture... VJ Day, Times Square, 1945. 25 of the pictures are actually prints that can be removed from the book and framed. VJ Day is one of them.]]></body>
