Women nurses in the Vietnam War
The WomenI really enjoyed this story of a spoiled young California girl, who elects to sign up as a nurse in Vietnam, largely to win her military minded father's approval. Her beloved brother has been killed there and is considered a hero for his service. She is transformed by the experience. The book exposes the futility of this war that never should have been, and mourns the thousands of young lives sacrificed to a pointless cause. An excellent read.
