Reviews
"Exceptionally informative, impressively written, organized and presented, Courageous Women of the Vietnam War is especially and unreservedly recommended for school and community library 20th Century Military History and 20th Century Women's History collections." -- Midwest Book Review, " It is with a heart full of gratitude that I offer my thanks to Kathryn Atwood for bringing to light these women's stories from the Vietnam War . Remembering their courage and resilience in the face of war remains of utmost importance."--Kim PhucPhan Thi, author of Fire Road: The Napalm Girl's Journey Through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness, and Peace, "Atwood honors heroines from all sides of the conflict, highlighting the common courage and humanity of the women who struggled for survival and compassion in the midst of war. Courageous Women of the Vietnam War is an inspiration!"--Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network , the Empress of Rome Saga, and the Borgia Chronicles, "For libraries in need of collective biographies about women or a new take on the Vietnam War." -- Cindy Wall, School Library Journal, "The Vietnam War was hardly an all-male event: there were women participating on all sides of the war. Kathryn Atwood has collected the personal stories of a good sample of the women involved, and her book is well worth reading for a look at the untold stories of the war."--Joseph L. Galloway, coauthor of the New York Times bestsellers We Were Soldiers Once...and Young and We Are Soldiers Still, "Kathryn J. Atwood's study of women in the Vietnam War is a welcome addition to the oral history of that fascinating and often tragic era. Atwood provides ample contextualization for younger and general readers while offering new, multiple perspectives on the complicated role of women in war for historians to ponder."--Frank Kusch, author of All American Boys: Draft Dodgers in Canada from the Vietnam War and Battleground Chicago: The Police and the 1968 Democratic National Convention, "The prose is, as always with Kathryn's books, accessible and a pleasure to read. Technically this is a young adult nonfiction book, but it's such a great resource for anyone: writer, student, teacher, homeschooler, historian." -- Writing Wrongs
