description: "To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events" was the goal Henry R. Luce set for LIFE in the original prospectus. For the next 36 years the editors kept that promise faithfully, reporting on life, the world, and great events with skill, dedication and imagination. Just how well they did their job the reader will see in the 304 pages - 100 of them in color - and 680 photographs (including 77 LIFE covers) that make up this splendid anthology. -- from the book jacket.
