About This Item
South Melbourne, VIC, Australia: Lothian Books, 2005. New book, 249 pages. Much has been documented about the young soldiers who went to Vietnam as innocent young boys and returned as hollowed out men. Far less has been written about the women, who mostly went in caring roles rather than to the front line. They encountered adventure and abuse, romance and rape, carnage and cause for celebration, they also discovered strengths they never knew they had. But the experience was just as defining - and haunting - for them. This book tells the real-life stories of 35 women who went to Vietnam as nurses, journalists, entertainers, volunteers, and consular staff, along with those of the women who waited at home for their shattered husbands, fathers, brothers and sons to return.. Trade Paperback. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
