Books & Brews Book Club

Join us at Siluria Brewing Company for the monthly Books & Brews book club! This month we are talking about the history of women journalists in the Vietnam War with Elizabeth Becker's nonfiction book You Don't Belong Here: How Three Women Rewrote the Story of War.

WINNER OF THE 2022 GOLDSMITH BOOK PRIZE
WINNER OF THE 2022 SPERBER PRIZE

The long buried story of three extraordinary female journalists who permanently shattered the official and cultural barriers to women covering war.
 
Kate Webb, an Australian iconoclast, Catherine Leroy, a French dare devil photographer, and Frances FitzGerald, a blue-blood American intellectual, arrived in Vietnam with starkly different life experiences but one shared purpose: to report on the most consequential story of the decade.

What emerges is an unforgettable story of three journalists forging their place in a land of men, often at great personal sacrifice, and forever altering the craft of war reportage for generations. Deeply reported and filled with personal letters, interviews, and profound insight, You Don't Belong Here fills a void in the history of women and of war.
