In a post on Catherine Leroy dated 24 August 2021, I was writing “the next step would be a book presenting and praising her work”. October 2025, my wish has come true. The publisher Atelier EXB just released a book titled “Catherine Leroy One-Way Ticket to Vietnam 1966–1968” covering mainly the three years Catherine Leroy spent in Vietnam and her two visits at the end of the war in 1975 and after in 1980. She was 21 years old when she flew to Saigon with a one-way ticket showing her determination to become a photo journalist at all cost. This book of 240 pages covers not only extensively her incredible photographs in combat but also the woman who took them through her letters. A fantastic tribute to an exceptional woman.
