From the Publisher:
Power brings readers face to face with the major world leaders of today. In this one-of-a-kind collection, Platon—World Press Photographer of the Year—turns his lens on 150 current international leaders from across the political spectrum to create a profound portrait of global power. Shot within a twelve-month period at the United Nations, and captured with unique candor and insight, these photographs offer an intimate glimpse of the personalities behind the public faces of the world's most powerful decision-makers. With an incisive text by New Yorker editor and Pulitzer Prize winner David Remnick, this comprehensive historical record of our time is an essential volume for anyone interested in world politics. Platon is staff photographer for the New Yorker, and recipient of the prestigious World Press Photo Award and National Magazine Photo Portfolio Award. He lives in New York.
