Great book! Not a dry account. A moving, exciting, amazing story, about an amazing woman! She faced insurmountable odds during the wars from WWII through Viet Nam as a war - peace correspondent. She successfully fought her way through to becoming an inspiration to many! A must read.

Dickey Chapelle was one of the first female war correspondents during WWII and the Vietnam War. She traveled through Europe after WWII to show the effects of war, she traveled to Cuba, and Hungary where she was ultimately imprisoned as well as other countries, including the Vietnam War where she ultimately lost her life. She showed the human side of the conflicts that she was covering. She also stayed in an abusive marriage for years after finally breaking free of him.
I enjoyed reading her biography and learning more about her life and impact on journalism. I never heard of her before or her contributions to journalism. She was a fascinating, brave woman and I'm glad her story is finally coming to light.
