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.

攝影之於你之於我都是一項嚴肅的事業。
評分20131102想讀。對個人生死,戰爭成敗,傢國命運統統言笑豁達,幾乎帶些無厘頭的感覺。不羈不畏的粗綫條下又仍容得下讓人心肝疼的細節,如意大利童子軍葬禮上太小的兒童棺木,解放巴黎時即將被鮮血覆蓋的口紅印,攻取柏林時年輕戰士最終成為遺像的照片,等等。美酒與愛情是唯二生存必需品,這大概是這個戰地記者完全不計生死的原因吧。
評分書如其人,清晰簡練,極富感染力,書也不長,和作者的生命一樣,短暫而精彩,在憂傷彌漫的硝煙之中。
