AS GOOD AS IT GETS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood and Champagne: The Life and Times of Robert Capa (Hardcover)
This book is a story, told to be thrilling and informative and will stand the test of time as the best book written about the trade of war photography. It should be a film because the action and character development are well plotted. And if you want to know, close up, about the great moments of the last century, then here is a ring-side seat on history in the making too. Inspiring stuff. If only there were more biographies written like this.

hatchet job,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood and Champagne: The Life and Times of Robert Capa (Hardcover)
An exceptionally nasty hatchet job, sloppily written, relying heavily on the authorized biography by Robert Whelan. Not surprisingly, Cornell Capa, the biographee's brother and custodian of his heritage refused cooperation, even to the extent of denying the use crucial photos, with this author.

superb - the best account yet,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood and Champagne: The Life and Times of Robert Capa (Hardcover)
A great, cinematic read - a shame that the estate did not allow photographs, but they never will. Yet this book is so vivid and esxciting that you don't notice the images not being there - you see them in your head. Really tremendous research, so much more objective than the authorized hagiographer Whelan's account, and this will one day be a movie - it just feels so right. A great, great tale told very well by Kershaw. Best bio on a photographer ever written.
