Robert Richardson undoubtedly ranks among the most revered cinematographers of the last four decades. He photographed some of the films of Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese, Errol Morris, Antoine Fuqua, and Quentin Tarantino, to name a few. As of now, he has ten Academy Award nominations and has won three times. In the category of the most awarded cinematographer of all time, he symbolically competes with Roger Deakins, a fifteen-time nominee and two-time Academy Award winner.This book of interviews, conducted by the Czech cinematographer Jana Hojdova, offers a unique collection of insights. Richardson, after many years, speaks in great detail about his work. Hojdova possesses a deep understanding of both the technical aspects and the artistic contributions of the cinematography profession. Moreover, she delves into Richardson's personal nature which is deeply personal. Jana has earned his trust, allowing him to open up not only as a professional sharing many of the jewels of his craft but also a multitude of behind-the-scenes stories, but also on an emotional and intimate level. Interviews with Richardson about his films are complemented by discussions with directors, producers, actors, and other artists. They’re also enriched with remarkable visuals from his films, behind-the-scenes photos, and Richardson's independent photographic work. This compilation showcases his artistry, vision, and personality in all their diverse manifestations. It paints a portrait of a dynamic artist who continually changes his style with each film, consistently infusing it with new elements and techniques, yet somehow he remains true to himself. In doing so, it demonstrates the extent of one‘s dedication to the world of cinema, for all of the positive and negatives of that decision.

In September 1943, as America began advancing from its foothold on Guadalcanal, a young American airman was lost in heavy weather over the South Pacific on what was expected to be a routine flight. In examining that loss and the events leading up to a rescue attempt on an island in the South Pacific, and bringing together societies utterly alien to each other, Survival in the South Pacific brings together the big themes of the Pacific War. Lieutenant Leonard Richardson and his comrades had been swept from their homes across America, trained at speed for war, and dispatched to one of the remotest places on the globe. American war plans in place when Pearl Harbor was attacked poorly reflected the capabilities of its military, and the limits imposed by America’s far-flung and indefensible territories. The “Germany First” policy had resulted in a deeply uncertain future for forces in the South Pacific and Australia—the United States was unprepared for the global war that came to it in late 1941, even as the pipeline of men and materiel began to fill. Young Allied and Japanese aviators, sailors, and soldiers, were not the only ones thrown into the swirling maelstrom of war that had engulfed the Pacific—the indigenous islanders were also immersed in a new reality. In bringing together individual stories of men at war, this book gives a new perspective on the Pacific War.
