Between the Battles: A NovelWhen a young Australian girl travels to the Viet Nam war to work as a secretary, she has no idea how to begin to become accustomed to living in a warzone with others like herself. Few in number, and fitting into no category--neither military nor medical, neither local nationals nor U.S. citizens--rules and regulations do not seem to apply to these women working in a warzone. |
