First to the front : the untold story of Dickey Chapelle, trailblazing female war correspondent

As a groundbreaking female photo-journalist she was often in places where she was not permitted, but she got there anyway: with the U.S. military fighting battles in the Pacific; with the South Vietnamese Army on the Ho Chi Minh Trail; in the Sierra Maestra Mountains with a Fidel Castro; with the Algerian National Liberation Front. In 1965 she was the first female journalist killed reporting on combat.
