inspiration for Waiting for the Robert Capa was a Mexican discovery. Found three suitcases containing more than 3,000 unpublished photographs by Robert Caps, Gerda Taro and David Seymour. Susan Fortes particularly moved by Gerda sleeping picture taken by her friend and partner, Robert.

Robert Capa and Gerda Taro go to Spain engulfed by civil war. During this period, produced their best photos signed by the name of an unknown American. Gerda begins to feel that he must escape the shadow of Robert, he begins to shoot at own hands, often grazing death.

reading is difficult, requiring dedication its maximum attention. The author spares no descriptions of horror that war brings. Very touched me some of the scenes: the bombing of Guernica, farewell the mother of his children sent to several years 'exile' in a unknown and undeserved death, crippled parrot - Captain Flint - has left my eyes with tears.
Highly recommended, and on its list of required reading typing Champagne and blood Alex Kershaw.
