In these pages, you'll find the experiences of nurses who dodged rocket attacks as they made their rounds; of Red Cross workers whose helicopters were fired upon as they flew into the jungles; of WACs who found their names on the Viet Cong's "elimination lists." You will find stories of danger, excitement, fear, and, in many cases, psychic wounds that will never heal.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent "oral history" from the Vietnam War,
By Shamanb "Shamanb" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Piece of My Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
Two hundred Vietnam vets (women and men both) ranked this book among the top five "oral histories" from the war, and those five oral histories among the top fifteen books from the Vietnam War period. The other four? EVERYTHING WE HAD (Santoli), NAM (Baker), CASUALTIES (Brandon) and BLOODS (Terry). All offer women-vet voices as moving as Walker's collection. (Comments by the author of DREAM BABY.)
