Published in 1966 by Grossman Publishers, Adlai Stevenson's Public Years is a 160-page photographic tribute documenting the political career, public diplomacy, and statesman intellect of Democratic leader and UN Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson II. Featuring a preface by political commentator Walter Lippmann and edited by Jill Kneerim, the volume pairs excerpts from Stevenson's speeches, essays, and personal writings with intimate photojournalism by Cornell Capa, Inge Morath, and Stevenson's son, John Fell Stevenson. The photographs chronicle Stevenson’s presidential campaigns in the 1950s, his international travels, and his final years representing the United States at the United Nations, offering a candid portrait of a key figure in mid-century American liberalism.

Cornell Capa (born Kornél Friedmann; 1918–2008) was a Hungarian-American photojournalist and founder of the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York. The younger brother of war photographer Robert Capa, he moved to the United States in 1937, working for Life magazine as a staff photographer where he covered major political campaigns, social issues, and international humanitarian stories. Coining the term "concerned photography" to describe image-making intended to educate and effect social change, Capa championed photojournalism as a powerful tool for civic engagement. Following his brother's death in 1954, Capa took on the management of Magnum Photos and went on to establish the International Fund for Concerned Photography, culminating in his founding of the ICP in 1974, which cemented his legacy as a vital preserver and advocate of documentary photography.
