This book provides an oral history of women who served in the U.S.
Army Nurse Corps during the Vietnam War. It follows the trajectory
of eight women's lives from their decision to become nurses, to
surgical and evacuation hospitals in Vietnam, and then home to face
the consequences of war on their personal and professional lives.
It documents their lived experience in Vietnam and explores the
memories and personal stories of nurses who treated injured
American soldiers, Vietnamese civilians, and the enemy. Their
voices reveal the physical and emotional challenges, trauma,
contradictions, and lingering effects of war on their lives. Women
in the U.S. Army in Vietnam feared the enemy but also sexual
violence and harassment: the experiences this book documents also
shed light on the extent of historical sexual abuse in the
military.
