Waiting for Robert Capa

This book tells the story of love and a creative partnership between the legendary war photojournalists Robert Capa and Gerda Taro. They met in 1935 in Paris, where she had fled from Germany and he from Hungary. Back then, they were still called Endre Friedman and Gerta Pohorylle. Changing their names and taking their cameras with them, they went to Spain to cover the course of the civil war breaking out there. Young and beautiful, brave anti-fascists and reckless nonconformists, they became the most famous photojournalists of their time. Sometimes what they went through for a powerful, truthful shot—or in the name of love—was akin to madness. They built their own legend and stayed faithful to it to the very end.
