description: Life. Death. Hope and despair. War and peace. The Cubs and the Sox. This was daily grist for Chicago Sun-Times photographers as they roamed the city for the past six decades.         Once called Chicago s Picture Newspaper, the Sun-Times has created a reputation for documenting Chicago that includes two Pulitzer Prizes for photography.         Now, for the first time, this remarkable record has been gathered into an artistic and historical look at Chicago. It shows the Metropolis of the Midwest as it battered its way through World War II, endured population booms and busts and transformed itself into the city by the lake we know today.         Real Chicago. Some of the photographs will look pleasingly nostalgic. Some will seem shockingly new. All help define Chicago. This is the first major book on Chicago photojournalism and the first picture book that details the city s modern history. It includes dozens of never-before-seen photographs taken by the Weegees of Wabash Avenue.
