This book delves into the iconic wartime photography of renowned Magnum photographer Robert Capa, focusing on six pivotal events he captured: the Spanish Civil War's falling soldier (1936), Chinese resistance to Japanese invasion (1938), the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War (1938-1939), D-Day (1944), the U.S. paratroop invasion of Germany (1945), and the liberation of Leipzig (1945). The book explores Capa's decision not to photograph the liberation of concentration camps. It includes in-depth historical and biographical commentary by Richard Whelan, featuring essays on Capa and the picture press, with rare materials illustrating Capa's evolving reach.
