More strong women in extraordinary circumstances from Hannah. This book follows combat nurses in Vietnam and their attempts to resume normal life on return to the US. Their efforts were disregarded or seen as shameful as the horror and failure of the war became clear. The combat nursing is brutal but the book succeeds in describing little known circumstances in recent history, at a time when PTSD was not yet medically recognised and civil and women’s rights were nascent.
