From Platon, a world-renowned photographer who works for The New Yorker magazine, comes this extraordinary portrait of political power at the highest level.
Commissioned by The New Yorker magazine, Platon has photographed more than 100 members of the United Nations. Presidents, prime ministers and heads of state sit side by side with dictators and revolutionaries to provide an intimate and unique perspective on the world's leaders. Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is included.
As well as striking photos, Power features biographies of the powerful men and women profiled. There is a detailed foreword by David Remnick, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author who edits The New Yorker.

"What becomes apparent is that in those precious moments of a portrait sitting, Platon has been able to establish a deep connection with his subjects that allows him to glimpse beyond the carefully constructed aura of power." – The Guardian newspaper
