With a desire to serve, Winnie signed up to be a nurse during the Vietnam War. This book follows her from training state-side, to Japan, Vietnam, and back home again. This is one of the best books of this genre that I have read. The author was not afraid to talk about her feelings, the horrors of war, or the toll that war takes on everyone. Fast paced, the book was well thought out and written. Overall, highly recommended. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Winnie Smith was an idealistic twenty-one-year-old first lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps in 1965, the year that North Vietnam bombed the U.S. base in Pleiku and our involvement in the war became official. Filled with romantic notions about being a combat nurse, Winnie requested assignment in an intensive care unit in Saigon, where casualties were brought by helicopter just minutes from the battlefield. There she became one of the courageous corps of American women who witnessed the drama and horror of combat firsthand. American Daughter Gone to War is her powerful, poignant story, a narrative of one woman's struggle to survive the bloodbath she confronted on the ward, and the trauma that filled her life afterward.
