That's My Story is a satirical novel by Hubbard Sellers about Velmer Townsell-Garrett, a fictional female war correspondent covering the Vietnam War. Arriving in Saigon in 1963 with a typewriter called the Baby, Velmer builds a legendary career by inexplicably remaining one step ahead of the front lines. Instead of focusing on strategy, she uncovers the war's true trajectory by tracking logistical paper trails-such as cement orders, bus tickets, and the price of fish-often with the uncredited help of her Vietnamese fixer, Nguyễn Thị Lành. Throughout her twelve-year stint, Velmer battles military bureaucracy, the absurdities of the daily press briefings, and the stubborn copy desk of her own newspaper, culminating in her final dispatches during the fall of Saigon in 1975.
