Neuware - Discover the Korean War through the eyes of a journalist who covered it in Nathan Hale's Cold War Correspondent, a Hazardous Tale in the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series.Reporter Marguerite Higgins risked her life in one dangerous situation after another--all for the sake of a good story.
