This book will haunt you. Made up primarily of Georgette Louise Meyer, aka Dickey Lou Chappelle's amazing wartime photography, her eye on humanity will move you to tears. As she journeyed around the world, from the Pacific theater of World War II to the rice paddy fields of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War, her images captured a raw humanity more seasoned photographers failed to notice. By her own standards, her photography skills weren't perfect, but nor did she care. Her fighting spirit shimmered in the images. I had never heard of Dickey Chappelle before reading this book. In truth, it was someone else's final photograph of Dickey that will make Ms. Chappelle, the woman and not the photographer, unforgettable to me. ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Foreign war correspondent and photographer Georgette "Dickey" Chapelle's biography is revealed through her photographs and words. Dickey broke the gender bearer for future female correspondents with her reporting of military actions during World War 2 for National Geographic, including the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. After the war, she traveled the world recording multiple war zones until her death during the Vietnam Conflict in 1965 while traveling with the Marines. Her work earned her a full military funeral, with Marine Honor Guard. Dickey was the first female war correspondent to be killed in action.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. The text in this book tell the story of Dickey Chapelle- from her childhood to the challenge of becoming a female reporter, to her time in war zones. It combines personal accounts, letters from Dickey herself, and other research... but the most memorable things are the pictures taken by Dickie herself. This book is both a touching tribute and harsh reminder of the dangers of war. Anyone with an interest in history, war, journalism, or feminism should check this out. For that matter- pretty much everyone should at least flip through the pages of this book. Dickey's story and photots will leave you changed.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Of the 236 years that the United States of America has been a country, we have been in some conflict of war for 214 years of them. Through the decades, many war correspondence (mostly men) have brought us into the heat of battle with riveting stories from the frontline. One such journalist captured those images on her camera. The book Dickey Chapelle Under Fire: Photographs by the First Female War Correspondent Killed in Action by John Garofolo is a 162-page tribute to Dickey through snapshots taken during World War II in the Pacific up to the Vietnam War. As the pages turned showing black and white photos taken by Dickey, author Garofolo also brings you insight into her fascinating life. This book is a devotion to the people that she photographed, now coming out 50 years after her death in Vietnam, where a landmine killed her. A true adventurer her images will now live on forever showing the actual story of war. After reading this book, I became more interested in who Dickey was, so I highly recommend a biography on her by Roberta Ostroff entitled in the Wind: The Life of Dickey Chapelle.
Garofolo, an Iraq War veteran and former entertainment industry executive, assembles the first-ever collection of the work of Georgette "Dickey" Chappelle, who pursued a photojournalism career at a time when practically no women did, beginning in WWII. ...But it's a colleague's photo that haunts this book: the 47-year-old Chapelle laying mortally wounded after being hit by shrapnel while on patrol with Marines in South Vietnam. The commandant of the Marine Corps called Chapelle "one of us," and her body of work surely deserves the wider recognition this book provides. 153 b&w photos.
In 1965, Wisconsin native Georgette "Dickey" Chapelle became the first female American war correspondent to be killed in action. Now, "Dickey Chapelle Under Fire" shares her remarkable story and offers readers the chance to experience Dickey's wide-ranging photography, including several photographs taken during her final patrol in Vietnam.
