Robert Capa, one of the finest photojournalists and combat
photographers of the twentieth century, covered every major
conflict from the Spanish Civil War to the early conflict in
Vietnam. Always close to the action, he created some of the most
enduring images ever made with a camera--perhaps none more
memorable than the gritty photos taken on the morning of D-Day.But
the drama of Capa's life wasn't limited to one side of the lens.
Born in Budapest as Andre Freidman, Capa fled political repression
and anti-Semitism as a teenager by escaping to Berlin, where he
first picked up a Leica camera. He founded Magnum, which today
remains the most prestigious photographic agency of its kind. He
was a gambler and seducer of several of his era's most alluring
icons, including Ingrid Bergman, and his friends included Irwin
Shaw, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, and John Huston.From
Budapest in the twenties to Paris in the thirties, from postwar
Hollywood to Stalin's Russia, from New York to Indochina, "Blood
and Champagne" is a wonderfully evocative account of Capa's life
and times.
