Fist of all, see the exhibit at MOMA (NYC) in the event you can -- it closes June 28. It is a major retrospective arguably the most influential and formally perfect of all photographers, and this exhibit means that you can step via his life through the work.
Cartier-Bresson was a master this book gives a stupendous overview of each "biggest hits" and previously unpublished images. Lots of the lesser-known photos are revelations, such as the post-battle dockside reunion pictured on the cover.
Print quality and binding are glorious, and the essay by Peter Galassi units the life in the context of his painterly aspirations, Magnum colleagues, and working methods.
Highest advice!
