A compact introduction to Robert Capa’s photography

This Photofile volume gathers work by Robert Capa across the five wars he covered, foregrounding the experiences of soldiers and civilians: suffering, uncertainty, boredom, and courage. It also broadens the view beyond conflict photography with portraits of political and artistic figures. The book presents Capa as a photographer whose life was closely bound to the events he documented, ending with his death after stepping on a landmine in Vietnam. With 144 pages in paperback, it offers a focused entry point to a career spanning war reportage and portraiture.

Book overview

Through his photographs we see the suffering, confusion, boredom and courage of the soldiers and civilians affected by the five wars that he covered. Yet he was more than a war photographer: Capa's portraits of politicians and artists are equally memorable. A participant, not an observer, Capa lived his life on the edge and died in action, killed by a landmine in Vietnam.
