- Summary
- The famous photo of a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square after the announcement of Japan's surrender in 1945 was taken by photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt and was first published in LIFE magazine. In 1980, LIFE sought out the identities of the sailor and nurse; a surprising number of contenders claimed that they were the subjects in the photo. Authors Verria (social studies, North Kingstown High School) and Galdorisi (Corporate Strategy Group, C4ISR Center of Excellence, US Navy) review all the evidence and determine the real identities of the iconic nurse and sailor, using forensic techniques to examine photos of contenders, the sequence of photos Eisenstaedt shot, and a photo of the same couple shot by an amateur photographer at the same moment. Many b&w photos are included. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
