Description: The Journalist by Jerry A. Rose, Rose Fischer Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A collaboration between Lucy Rose Fischer and her late brother, The Journalist tells the story of Jerry Rose, a young journalist and photographer who exposed the secret beginnings of Americas Vietnam War in the early 1960s. He interviewed Vietnamese villagers, embedded himself with soldiers, and wrote the first major article about American troops fighting in Vietnam. Publisher Description -Timely resurgence of interest in Vietnam War:, a movie starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, and a nationally touring art exhibit art about the Vietnam War.-Fresh angle on a familiar story: This story bears witness to very early years of American involvement-a time when most Americans had no idea their government was becoming quietly committed to fighting communism in that region, and which many today know little about.-Explores a hot topic: Journalists are often among the forgotten tragedies of war-and journalists today are often found in war zones, at risk beside their subjects. With frequent assaults against journalists all over the world and the high alert of "fake news," attention on journalists is at an all-time high.-Timely release for military remembrance holidays: The story of a war reporter continues to be relevant today and will be especially appropriate for generating stories on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. By the end of Americas Vietnam War, 45 journalists had been killed, and another 18 were missing.-Of special interest to Vietnam generation: More than 50 million Americans, who are now age 55+, grew up with the Vietnam War on their television sets. This generation is just now beginning to come to terms with their history and the scar left by Vietnam War. More than 770,000 Americans still alive today served on land, sea and air in the Vietnam War.
