Summary:
"From the beginning of World
War
II through the early days of Vietnam, groundbreaking
female
photojournalist and
war
correspondent
Dickey
Chapelle
chased dangerous assignments her male colleagues wouldn’t touch, pioneering a radical style of reporting that focused on the humanity of the oppressed. She documented conditions across Eastern Europe in the wake of the Second World
War
. She marched down the Ho Chi Minh Trail with the South Vietnamese Army and across the Sierra Maestra Mountains with Castro. She was the
first
reporter accredited with the Algerian National Liberation
Front
, and survived torture in a communist Hungarian prison. She dove out of planes, faked her own kidnapping, and endured the mockery of male associates, before ultimately dying on assignment in Vietnam with the Marines in 1965, the
first
American
female
journalist killed while covering combat.
Chapelle
overcame discrimination both on the battlefield and at home, with much of her work ultimately buried from the public eye -- until now. In
First
to the
Front
, Lorissa Rinehart uncovers the incredible life and unparalleled achievements of this true pioneer, and the mark she would make on history."--From publisher.
