First paperback edition, first printing. The autobiography of Robert Capa. As Capa once said: "If your pictures are no good, you're not close enough." He was close enough during the Spanish Civil War to lose his girlfriend, close enough on D-Day to be in the second landing, and finally close enough in Vietnam to be killed by a land mine. He was the model of the swashbuckling photojournalist. A very entertaining and readable account of his life through World War II. Foreword by Cornell Capa; introduction by Richard Whelan. 236 pages; full-page b&w photos throughout; 5.25 x 8 inches. Ref for the first edition: Roth, Book of 101 Books, p126-127; The Open Book, p148-149. Condition: Very Good with light fading to the spine and light signs of handling; spine is uncreased, interior clean. Ships the next business day, wrapped in padding, in a box.
