Binding tight - Dustjacket in very good condition with no wear It is the story of one of the most enigmatic and interesting men of the 20th Century. Robert Capa is considered by all who have the right to critique his work as the greatest war photographer of all time. He earned this title by the time he was 25, and unfortunately, war finally took him when he stepped on a land mine in Vietnam in 1954. The author, the late Richard Whelan, addresses any discrepancies ever brought up regarding Capa's work and writes about him with such understanding, one finds it hard to believe he never met the man. Whelan has passed on, but he left us with a fascinating portrait of an artist little known by the everyday man. Capa truly loved only one woman, Gerda Taro, who was also killed in action, but early on in the Spanish Civil War. He never married. He was born in Hungary but remained a citizen of the world and traveled and was loved by the very poor and the rich and famous, including Irwin Shaw, Hemingway, Steinbeck and Ingrid Bergman. He was universally loved and admired by men and women alike. His photographs of everyday life in Spain during the Spanish Civil War show his gift of catching the warmth and humanity in his subjects. Nothing is ever posed and they always have a sense of immediacy. He gives you a great sense of the drama of the moment and was absolutely fearless in going wherever necessary to capture the tragedy and grief of war Also listed Myrna Loy SIGNED, Valentino, Joan Crawford SIGNED, Norma Shearer, Tyrone Power, Jayne Mansfield, William Powell,Shirley Temple SIGNED, George Nader SIGNED & other Hollywood Bios & Photos...........
