Samenvatting:

For those of us back home, the Vietnam War was a blurred black and white newsprint image. For Ellie Ketcham, a neophyte photojournalist in 1968 Saigon, the noise and brutality of war pulsated in full color.Smart and instinctive, Ellie traveled to Saigon to interview journalists about their war coverage experience and was mesmerized by every nuance of battleground reporting.Through the Tet Offensive and search and rescue missions, she plunged headlong into documenting battles and secret sites through her camera lens.It's a story of intrigue, war, and betrayal, not to mention the currency of war in Southeast Asia...opium.Will Ellie make her way through the complex maze of battlefields unscathed while dancing on a knife edge of adventure?
