Synopsis

John Jochimsen spent five decades working on the breaking news stories of the day, and this collection presents more than 100 of his photographs from the pre-digital era. The selection ranges from a distinctive image of Haile Selassie and Winston Churchill to rare photographs of Queen Elizabeth II and other statesmen, alongside a personal Christmas card photograph made for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Also included is extensive work produced for the Ministry of Defence, with a particular focus on their latest military aircraft. The book reflects assignments that took him into world conflicts, including prolonged periods in Sudan, Kenya, Liberia and Malaya, where he was caught in a fire-fight between British troops and insurgents.
