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.

ROBERT CAPA - FOTOGRAFIAS

On June 6, 1944, a day that would become known as D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history began. Under a dark and dreary sky, forces from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada landed on five separate beachheads in Normandy, France, with the united goal of breaking the Nazi hold on Western Europe. Three bloody months later, all of northern France was liberated, and the end of World War II was in sight. With an immediacy and intensity that comes only from firsthand experience, this volume tells a story of days and weeks of unimaginable loss and extreme hardship, and ends with accounts of the bittersweet joy of victory. Reports from soldiers themselves and war correspondents, who traveled with the troops, as well as government documents, paint a poignant and graphic picture of the incredible theater of war. Accompanying the text are vivid, powerful, and profound photographs taken by military and civilian photographers who risked their lives to visually record the battle and the actions of the people who fought in it. We Were There is a carefully researched collection of words and pictures that provides an unique perspective on the invasion of Normandy; deeply personal memories from those who experienced the agony of the day-to-day conflict and the profound relief of a hard-won victory.
