Time: Person of the Year 75th Anniversary Celebration

This volume collects the stories of all the people who have shared the memorable title-Person of the Year. Because Time articles from four or five decades ago still carry the electrifying shock of great events recently recalled, Time has featured and edited selections from the original cover story as the main text for each entry. A sidebar written from today's vantage point offers analysis, readers' comments and lore surrounding Time's famous designation. Since 1927, when the editors chose hero aviator Charles Lindbergh to be the first Man of the Year, Time has profiled the great figures of our time at the moment of their great triumphs-from Mohandas Gandhi leading India to independence to F.D.R. (three times a Man of the Year) fighting the Depression and Fascism, from John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. to Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan. In these pages, you'll meet heroes like Eisenhower and Truman...and villains like Adolf Hitler and Ayatullah Khomeini. You'll relive some of the greatest moments of our time-and enjoy lavish picture galleries that capture the most significant people of our time in indelible photographs.
