"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 Revolutionary Army 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 and abuse, 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"
