Oriana Fallaci: Vietnam, America, and the Year that Changed History

By Eva Giovannini

Between 1967 and 1968, Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci made three trips to Vietnam at a time when women were rarely assigned as war correspondents. Fallaci reported from the two fronts of Vietnam and America during this important year, covering the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, and protests against the war in Vietnam. This graphic novel is an illustrated time capsule of the frontline reporting of Oriana Fallaci, from the perspective of a journalist observing a grueling war in which nothing is as it seems. Included is a recreation of Fallaci's interview with Henry Kissinger, Richard Nixon's national security adviser. Of his interview with Fallaci, Kissinger admitted it was a disastrous decision after she got him to admit that Vietnam was a "useless war."
