Jerry a rose (36 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: Good. Jerry Rose, a young journalist and photographer in Vietnam, exposed the secret beginnings of America's Vietnam War in the early 1960s. Putting his life in danger, he interviewed Vietnamese villagers in a countryside riddled by a war of terror and intimidation and embedded himself with soldiers on the ground, experiences that he distilled into the first major article to be written about American troops fighting in Vietnam. His writing was acclaimed as 'war reporting that ranks with the best of Ernest Hemingway and Ernie Pyle,' and in the years to follow, Time, The New York Times, The Reporter, New Republic, and The Saturday Evening Post regularly published his stories and photographs. In spring 1965, Jerry's friend and former doctor, Phan Huy Quat, became the new Prime Minister of Vietnam, and he invited Jerry to become an advisor to his government. Jerry agreed, hoping to use his deep knowledge of the country to help Vietnam. In September 1965, while on a trip to investigate corruption in the provinces of Vietnam, he died in a plane crash in Vietnam, leaving behind a treasure trove of journals, letters, stories, and a partially completed novel. The Journalist is the result of his sister, Lucy Rose Fischer, taking those writings and crafting a memoir in 'collaboration' with her late brother - giving the term 'ghostwritten' a whole new meaning.…

The author worked for NBC as a field producer. While with NBC, he was assigned to cover a pending peace conference in Laos. His helicopter was shot down on 15 May 1961 over Laos, and he, the pilot Army Captain Edward R. Shore, Jr. and a Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class John P. McMorrow were captured, imprisoned and shackled for fifteen-months by the communist Pathet Lao. The three were released on 17 August 1962, along with Special Forces Sergeant Orville R. Ballenger and Army Major Lawrence R. Bailey. From the start, Wolfkill and his two fellow captives were subject to continuous torture and abuse. Wolfkill's story is a harrowing account of survival under the most savage and humiliating conditions. It is also a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit.
