Chronicle of the contributions of Vietnamese women to the war. A wrenching account of hardship, valor, and personal sacrifice. From the publisher: "The active participation of Vietnamese women after 1965 tipped the balance between victory and defeat. It is estimated that the total number of women in the regular army of North Vietnam, the militia and local forces, and professional volunteer teams was somewhere near two hundred thousand. Women with training and education operated underground communications networks, staffed and directed jungle clinics, and recorded the war as journalists. Others ran jungle liaison stations and ammunition depots, led and served in combat platoons, made coffins and burial cloths, and collected and buried the dead. Local militiawomen learned to shoot at American planes from factory rooftops and village fields, carried supplies, and treated the wounded - all the while maintaining agricultural and industrial production at prewar levels. Karen Gottschang Turner traveled to Vietnam over a period of three years, researching, recording, and, above all, listening as the women warriors she encountered poured out extraordinary oral histories. By including military accounts, private writings, and the literature of Vietnam's American War, Turner provides a context for the words of those who lived it." . First Printing of the First Edition.

THEWARIN Vietnam has berned ist brand sodeep in film and fiction that it seemend there was nothing new to say about that bitter confliet. But, a handful of propaganda films apart, the voice of North Vietnam has been silent, Until now. This extraordinary novel opens with Kien, an infantry cadre from Hanoi, engaged in the grim business of retrieving and burying the dead at the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of the war. From this macabre scene, the novel ranges back to Kiens youth and the pains of adolescent love, and forwrds tho his attempts, as a struggling writer in post-was Hanoi, to come to grips with his memories of the savageries of his corrosive war, to make sense of death, of love, of loss, oh his own survival. Kien brings to the page the skills that served him in warfare, learned to confront the mechanics of fiction as he had learned to strip his weapons, to work his way through narrative as he had learned to traverse the lethal iungle. But the battle with the written word, while it draws no blood, exacts its own price, leaves its own victins. By turns lyrical and brutal, bleak and poetic, naive and cumning. The Sorrow of War eloquently confims that in war, whoever wins, the casnalty is humanity. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 200.…
