Just after the iron curtain fell on Eastern Europe John Steinbeck
and acclaimed war photographer, Robert Capa ventured into the Soviet
Union to report for the "New York Herald Tribune". This rare
opportunity took the famous travelers not only to Moscow and
Stalingrad - now Volgograd - but through the countryside of the
Ukraine and the Caucasus. A "Russian Journal" is the distillation
of their journey and remains a remarkable memoir and unique historical
document. Steinbeck and Capa recorded the grim realities of factory
workers, government clerks, and peasants, as they emerged from the
rubble of World War II. This is an intimate glimpses of two artists
at the height of their powers, answering their need to document
human struggle.
