Cofounding Magnum Photos in 1947 with Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, the modest Rodger was eclipsed by his partnersuntil now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRodger's Indiana Jones-style escapades are legendary and worth the telling. He once covered over 75,000 miles of \"old Africa\" in a Land Rover. He even survived a white rhino charge. He went on to become a key photographer of African tribal life. During World War II he covered sixty-one countries for \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e magazine. He was chased through three hundred miles of Burmese jungles by both the Japanese army and a tribe of headhunters. And he was the first to record the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He quit photography when he realized he was arranging \"thousands of Jewish corpses in nice photographic compositions.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn fascinating detail Carol Naggar not only recalls Roger's singular life and artistic contribution, but she also provides an in-depth look at the complex dynamics of ethics, violence, and photojournalism. As such, it places the legacy of George Rodger within a broader sociohistorical context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carole Naggar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.42w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815607625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2003 pg. 471\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2003 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2004 pg. 1655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarole Naggar\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five books and wrote the lead essay for the award-winning work \u003ci\u003eMexico Through Foreign Eyes: Photographs 1850-1990.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43173083480179,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_56327935-0845-4986-9bb6-10af443de019.jpg?v=1751626819","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/george-rodger-an-adventure-in-photography-1908-1995-9780815607625","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
