Discover the Korean War through the eyes of the journalist who
covered it in this installment of the New York Times bestselling
graphic novel series In 1950, Marguerite Higgins (1920-1966) was
made bureau chief of the Far East Asia desk for the New York Herald
Tribune. Tensions were high on the Korean peninsula, where a border
drawn after WWII split the country into North and South. When the
North Korean army crossed the border with Soviet tanks, it was war.
Marguerite was there when the Communists captured Seoul. She fled
with the refugees heading south, but when the bridges were blown
over the Han River, she was trapped in enemy territory. Her
eyewitness account of the invasion was a newspaper smash hit. She
risked her life in one dangerous situation after another--all for
the sake of good story. Then she was told that women didn't belong
on the frontlines. The United States Army officially ordered her
out of Korea. She appealed to General Douglas MacArthur, and he
personally lifted the ban on female war correspondents, which
allowed her the chance to report on many of the major events of the
Korean War. Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales are graphic novels that
tell the thrilling, shocking, gruesome, and TRUE stories of
American history. Read them all-if you dare!
