Sample Book Insights:
#1 In February 1967, Catherine Leroy was selected to be the photographer on the first US airborne assault of the Vietnam War. She was with the Second Battalion of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and was sworn to secrecy until the operation began. She barely slept, and rose with the troops before dawn.
#2 Leroy was the only woman combat photographer in Vietnam, and she had been the only one for over a year. She had been the only one to challenge the American public’s perception of women as being unable to cover war.
#3 Catherine Leroy was the first female combat photographer, and she died in 1965. She was killed in November 1965, only months after she arrived in Vietnam. Her death made history.
#4 Catherine’s parents were horrified when she dropped out of secondary school to go to Paris and pursue her dreams of being a blues singer. She took up sky jumping and became a photographer. She was serious about photography and found a mind-numbing job at a temporary hiring agency in Paris.
