The Women

 By Kristin Hannah. 2024

Read this book quite fast. So much I didn't know. The chaos of jungle warfare must have been overwhelming. I know most Vietnam vets don't want to talk about their service to people who weren't there. So sad that the VA wouldn't help the Army Nurse Corps once they were home. Tragic. i recommend this book to everyone. Makes me want to read the true accounts of the nurse's experiences.
