SIGNED LIMITED EDITION

J. Ross Baughman took on hundreds of very calculated, high-risk assignments throughout the world, stepping on a land mine and winning a Pulitzer Prize along the way. Editors at his hometown newspaper in Lorain, Ohio, and then at the Associated Press and LIFE magazine, wanted Ross to apply his trail-blazing methods in ethics to embed deeply within controversial groups on the fringes of society, whether those were armed street gangs, neo-nazis, klansmen or guerrilla commandos. His memoir ANGLE offers the detailed, inside account of this work, along with 175 of his best photographs, showing how mere belated pack journalism, hearsay and opinion can’t hold a candle next to this vivid eyewitness. (462pp. color illus. index. hardcover with dust jacket. Masthof Press, revised 2^nd edition 2024.)

Medal from 1978 Pulitzer Prize winner in Journalism for Photography.

Only 50 copies printed, numbered, and autographed by author!

Ross Baughman was a witness to history and his account of what he saw is lucidly recounted along with some of the fine photography that resulted. More than this, the story of such witnesses deserves telling to remind people of a time when globetrotting photojournalists were valued for their integrity and bravado. This is a rare instance of a humble retelling of a life well lived, driven by a passion to share what needed to be better known without spin or prejudice. A lost world but a precious one.
