It was published by Covici · Friede Publishers while the conflict was still underway. It is dedicated to Gerda Taro, who died in the battlefield the year prior.[1] The book also includes photographs by David Seymour and André Kertész. Though the photographs are credited to “Robert Capa”, Capa has written that the work was a collective project by both photographers, given that the photographs “are interspersed and unattributed.”[1] This book helped to cement both Capa's and Taro's reputations as leading war photographers and pioneers in photojournalism.[2]
