In 1942, a dashing young man who liked nothing so much as a heated game of poker, a good bottle of scotch and the company of a pretty girl hopped a merchant ship to England. He was Robert Capa, the brilliant and daring photojournalist, and Collier's magazine had put him on assignment to photograph the war raging in Europe.
In these pages, Capa recounts his terrifying journey through the darkest battles of World War II and shares his memories of the men and women of the Allied forces who befriended, amused, and captivated him along the way. His photographs are masterpieces and his writing is by turns riotously funny and deeply moving.
'Slightly Out of Focus' is a marvelous memoir told in words and pictures by an extraordinary man.
