First published in 1947, this book is the passionate autobiography of Robert Capa , which brings together his texts and photographs on World War II .
In 1942, Capa left New York for the UK to cover the war as an envoy for Collier’s magazine. His objective is not to be a simple witness to the events. He is not a spectator of war, but lives the war. He is a reporter and a paratrooper, and will land with the allies on the Norman beaches, becoming one of the men he accompanies.
Through his words and his images, Capa plunges us into a frenetic journey through Europe at war: from London to North Africa, from Italy to the Normandy landings, from liberated Paris to Germany and the last days of the conflict. The result is a gripping story in which violence and horror coexist with the humor and eloquence of Capa, who portrays blood and destruction, but also lives a love affair with the seductive Pinky and a close friendship with Ernest Hemingway.
