Cold War Correspondent (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales)
Discover the Korean War through the eyes of fearless journalist Marguerite Higgins in Cold War Correspondent, part of Nathan Hale’s bestselling Hazardous Tales graphic novel series.
When the Korean War began in 1950, Higgins reported from the front lines as North Korean forces crossed into South Korea and captured Seoul. She witnessed the chaos firsthand, fled alongside refugees, and even became trapped in enemy territory after bridges over the Han River were destroyed.
Despite her groundbreaking reporting, Higgins was ordered out of Korea because she was a woman. She challenged the decision, appealed to General Douglas MacArthur, and ultimately helped change the rules for female war correspondents.
With vivid illustrations, fast-paced storytelling, and real historical detail, Cold War Correspondent brings the Korean War to life while highlighting courage, journalism, and the fight for equal opportunity.
