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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlex Kershaw\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the widely acclaimed bestsellers \u003ci\u003eThe Bedford Boys, The Longest Winter, The Few\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eEscape from the Deep\u003c\/i\u003e, among others.
