Women in Vietnam: The Oral History [Paperback]

Ron Steinman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 30, 2005 | Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

In "Women in Vietnam," veteran journalist Ron Steinman, author of "Inside Televisions First War" collects the testimony of sixteen remarkable women who served, and provides an unflinching account of this crucial and long ignored part of the war. In powerful first-hand accounts, we read of their experiences on the front lines, on the bases, and in the cities, towns and villages. All these women served with honor, without complaint, and with distinction. "Women in Vietnam" is a unique historical document and a powerful record of extraordinary accomplishment. As an significant tribute to the women now serving in Iraq, there is a fresh essay from Ron Steinman about their accomplishments and heroism in that different war in an equally far off land that helps put in perspective how these women today also serve with honor and without complaint.

This review is from: Women in Vietnam: The Oral History (Paperback)

The American public treated returning Vietnam Veterans horridly.
The women who volunteered to serve in Vietnam were ignored.
Finally, the womens' stories are told, masterfully, and in their own words. This book has historical merit and is a must read.
It will bring tears to the reader's eyes, as well as shouts of joy and triumph.

I know. I was one of those nurses who volunteered to serve in Vietnam.
Mr. Steinman did us proud.
