Army Nurse Corps Voices from the Vietnam War : Eight Women, One War Hardback
by Janet D. Tanner
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Oral History series
Hardback
Description
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.
