What The Reviewers Say

Jacqueline Winspear,

Becker not only shines a light on the contributions of those correspondents...but provides a valuable depth of cultural and historical insight into the conflict.

Foreign Affairs

Deborah Hopkinson,
Bookpage
Becker’s examination of three journalists’ careers—Webb, Frances FitzGerald from America and Catherine Leroy of France—powers this absorbing narrative about the challenges of covering the Vietnam War.
Danise Hoover,
Booklist
Becker presents three extraordinary women journalists who risked all to tell the story, for, along with all the other issues of the era, sexism is part of that story.
