Blood & Champagne by Alex Kershaw
This title looks at the life of one of the most extraordinary photographers of our time, Robert Capa. A Hungarian, he was driven from his country by political oppression and became the greatest war photographer of his generation with his work during the Spanish Civil War. His work during Wolrd War II made him a legend as he covered many of the significant moments of the war, crossing the Atlantic with the first convoys, enduring the London Blitz and following the Allies through North Africa, Italy and then the liberation of France. Founder of Magnum, he was one of the earliest casualties of what would become the Vietnam war, being killed in IndoChina in 1954. He was a friend of Hemingway, Gary Cooper, Gene Kelly, John Huston, lover of Ingrid Bergman.
Alex Kershaw is the author of Jack London: A Life, published in July 1997. A contributing editor to GQ Magazine, he has been a journalist since graduating from Oxford University in 1987. He lives in Vermont, USA.
