Discover the story of one of the boldest war photographers of the 20th century

Slightly Out of Focus takes you on an incredible journey through the lens of Robert Capa, the man who captured the darkest moments of World War II with extraordinary artistic sensibility and human understanding.

Remarkable testimonies and fascinating photographs

In 1942, Robert Capa, a young and charismatic photojournalist, went to cover the war in Europe on assignment for Collier's magazine. In this book he shares not only his thrilling experiences from the battlefields of Sicily, London, Normandy, and Algiers, but also memories of friends and comrades whose stories convey courage, humor, and humanity. Capa's images, hailed as masterpieces, demonstrate his exceptional talent; John G. Morris, the first executive editor of Magnum Photos, rightly called him the greatest war photographer of the century.

The book is not only an engaging diary and testimony to the horrors of war, but also a deeply human account full of wit and compassion that will appeal to lovers of history and photography alike.
