Text engl. - With reproductions of Capa's Spanish Civil War photographs and additional images by Gerda Taro. „Original photographic dust-jacket over olive cloth. Scarce first edition of this remarkable photographic history of the Spanish civil war. In order to photograph the horrors of the conflict, Robert Capa and Gerda Taro followed the Republican battalions into perilous action and risked their lives daily. The result gathered in this book is a collection of 145 stunning photogravures. There was also a tragic consequence to the photographers' intrepidity as Gerda Taro, Capa's companion and professional photography partner, was indeed killed in a Rebel counter-attack, crushed by a tank, one year before the publication of this work. Her body lies in Paris beside Barbusse.“ (Eric Chaim Kline, Santa Monica, CA, 05.2012). - Nur Kurztitelaufnahme 12.2011.
