Robert Capa was born in Budapest in 1913. At twenty-two he traveled to Spain to photograph the Spanish Civil War and soon established a reputation as one of the greatest war photojournalists in history. On May 25, 1954, in French Indochina, Capa was the first American photographer to die in what would become the Vietnam War.
Cornell Capa is Robert Capa's younger brother. A distinguished photojournalist, he founded the International Center of Photography in New York City in 1974.
In 1942, a dashing young man who liked nothing so much as a heated game of poker, a good bottle of scotch, and the company of a pretty girl hopped a merchant ship to England. He was Robert Capa, the brilliant and daring photojournalist, and Collier's magazine had put him on assignment to photograph the war raging in Europe. In these pages, Capa recounts his terrifying journey through the darkest battles of World War II and shares his memories of the men and women of the Allied forces who befriended, amused, and captivated him along the way. His photographs are masterpieces -- John G. Morris, Magnum Photos' first executive editor, called Capa "the century's greatest battlefield photographer" -- and his writing is by turns riotously funny and deeply moving.
From Sicily to London, Normandy to Algiers, Capa experienced some of the most trying conditions imaginable, yet his compassion and wit shine on every page of this book. Charming and profound, Slightly Out of Focus is a marvelous memoir told in words and pictures by an extraordinary man.
He was a legend, and I have occasionally gotten part of his memory to chase the legend. With his biography in the subway or on the waiting bench, it meant a lot more than killing the time. It is one of the only two books written by himself, with not perfe...

評分单看最后一页, 以为是出自一个一篇有始无终的爱情小说的结尾;却没想到来自世界上最著名war photojournalist 的著作。看书之前我以为这会是一本荡气回肠 刀光血影的小说:或许有煽情的文字;大量描写战争残酷的话语;作者在在枪林弹雨中对人生的感悟 对今生的回顾 对生活的向...
