Always close to the action, he created some of the most enduring images ever made with a camera--perhaps none more memorable than the gritty photos taken on the morning of D-Day.\u003cbr\u003eBut the drama of Capa's life wasn't limited to one side of the lens. Born in Budapest as Andre Freidman, Capa fled political repression and anti-Semitism as a teenager by escaping to Berlin, where he first picked up a Leica camera. He founded Magnum, which today remains the most prestigious photographic agency of its kind. He was a gambler and seducer of several of his era's most alluring icons, including Ingrid Bergman, and his friends included Irwin Shaw, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, and John Huston.\u003cbr\u003eFrom Budapest in the twenties to Paris in the thirties, from postwar Hollywood to Stalin's Russia, from New York to Indochina, \u003ci\u003eBlood and Champagne\u003c\/i\u003e is a wonderfully evocative account of Capa's life and times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Kershaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0306813564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306813566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.14w x 0.93d","brand":"Alex Kershaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044765331711,"sku":"9780306813566","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_67e1a1dd-415d-4087-9464-d2c877e4756e.jpg?v=1684974759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-and-champagne-alex-kershaw-9780306813566","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
