Ward Just was born on September 5, 1935, in Michigan City, Indiana, a small town near Waukegan, Illinois, where for three generations Just’s family published the Waukegan News-Sun. After attending Trinity College, Just was certain journalism would be his calling, although he was attracted to fiction. He worked for his family’s newspaper from 1957 to 1959. Determined to separate himself from the shadow of his family, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, to write for Newsweek, eventually moving to the magazine’s parent newspaper, the Washington Post, where he was posted to numerous international hot spots, most notably Cyprus during its vicious civil war in 1963. He also covered the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1967, establishing a reputation for insightful reporting from difficult combat positions. When he was wounded by grenade shrapnel in June 1966, while on patrol with a reconnaissance platoon from the 101st Airborne Division, he refused to be airlifted until the eight soldiers with him had been carried to safety.
