Clip: 11/13/2015 | 2m 58s

Author John Garofolo on the life and influence of woman war photographer, Dickey Chapelle

In 1965, photographer and writer Dickey Chapelle was killed in Vietnam, becoming the first female American journalist to be killed covering a war. In the new book, "Dickey Chapelle Under Fire", author John Garofolo talks about Chapelle's work, influence, and career choice at a time when few women entered the profession. NewsHour's Megan Thompson interviews Garofolo.
