Part of the Photofile series, this introduction to the work of renowned photojournalist Robert Capa features nearly seventy of most renowned images. Robert Capa (1913–1954) gave the world some of the most moving and memorable images of war ever taken, and redefined photojournalism for ever. Through his photographs we see the suffering, confusion, boredom and courage of the soldiers and civilians affected by the five wars that he covered. Yet he was more than a war photographer: Capa's portraits of politicians and artists are equally memorable. A participant, not an observer, Capa lived his life on the edge and died in action, killed by a landmine in Vietnam. The Photofile SeriesPhotofile brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers in an attractive, accessible, pocket-sized format. Handsome and collectable, the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains over sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
