Review
This gorgeous non-fiction text sweeps readers up into the love story of Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, two innovative photographers and adventurers who revolutionized photojournalism. I found myself kindling a love for non-fiction - a genre I usually avoid - thanks to the crafted storytelling. Each page contains at least one photograph, and while each is in black and white, the collection brings to life a time period in world history (the Spanish Revolution) that I knew nothing about. Gerta is the dreamer and the brains of the operation and Robert is the artist, and together the two create modern photojournalism, each bringing to the forefront a strength that the other lacks.
Overall Book Score: excellent
