Summary

"Tells the story of Gerda Taro, a headstrong photojournalist with a passion for capturing the truth amid political turmoil and the first woman photojournalist killed in combat"--, Provided by publisherThis novel in verse profiles Gerda Taro, a vibrant, headstrong photojournalist with a passion for capturing the truth amid political turmoil and the first woman photojournalist killed in combat. Daughter of Polish Jewish immigrants, Gerta Pohorylle doesn't quite fit in with her German classmates. When she returns from school, she joins a group of young activists and is arrested for distributing anti-Nazi propaganda. In Paris Gerta meets Hungarian Andr Friedman, who fosters her interest in photography. Together the pair reinvents their brand of photojournalism under the names Robert Capa and Gerda Taro, and travel to areas of military conflict, selling their photos for high prices. While traveling solo in Spain to cover the growing conflict that is becoming the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Gerta pushes closer and closer to the front line. -- adapted from jacket
