The Last Assignment: A Novel by Erika Robuck

4.0

---

 

This novel tells the story of real-life award-winning photojournalist Georgette “Dickey” Chapelle. Dickey’s life goal is to take a photo that will end all wars, and in her quest to do that she witnesses first-hand seven conflicts. She evades death on Iwo Jima, survives prison in Hungary, marches alongside Fidel Castro’s men in Cuba, and finds peace amid war in Vietnam. 

 

Adventurous and fast-paced, Robuck has brought this historical figure back to life. Her tribute to Dickey Chapelle will bring this heroic woman’s story to generations who have never heard of her. There is so much fascinating history in these pages.
