408 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, 1st edition, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the dj, 'Long before it was fashionable for women reporters to cover war, photojournalist Dickey Chapelle was a familiar figure on the front. Clad in fatigues, an Australian bush hat, harlequin glasses, and her signature pearl earrings, this tiny woman with the voice of a drill instructor was a legend among enlisted men. From Iwo Jima to the landing of the first U.S. Marines in Vietnam, and every shooting war in between, Dickey led the pack...It seemed that nothing could stop Dickey Chapelle's endless coverage of the world's battlefronts - until the enemy did. In 1965, at the age of 46, she was killed by a mine in Vietnam.'
