Vietnamese Women at War by Sandra C Taylor
It was common knowledge among American soldiers in Vietnam that women were sometimes brave and even ferocious fighters for the North. This text provides vivid accounts of training, deployment, strategy and tactics, propaganda, support services and torture involving women.
From the 'long-haired army' that carried provisions through the jungles at Dien Bien Phu to the female 'tunnel rats' at Cu Chi in the South, women were the unsung heroes of Vietnam's war of national liberationHere, in this sympathetic and sometimes gripping account, is their untold story. - William J. Duiker, author of Ho Chi Minh: A Life ""It was common knowledge among American soldiers in Vietnam that women were sometimes brave and even ferocious fighters for the North. Now at last this fascinating story has been told in depth."" - Robert Olen Butler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain ""As Taylor reveals, we don't see ourselves as victims but rather as victors and survivors, following in the footsteps of our ancestors."" - Le Ly Hayslip, author of When Heaven and Earth Changed Places ""A very valuable book for courses on the Vietnam War and in women's studies."" - Marilyn B. Young, author of The Vietnam War, 1945-1990 ""Taylor greatly enhances our understanding of the contributions of Vietnam's women, providing vivid accounts of training, deployment, strategy and tactics, propaganda activities, support services, imprisonment and torture, and other aspects of their involvement in the war. Recommended for all levels."" - Choice
