A Piece of My Heart Book

In these pages, you'll find the experiences of nurses who dodged rocket attacks as they made their rounds; of Red Cross workers whose helicopters were fired upon as they flew into the jungles; of WACs who found their names on the Viet Cong's "elimination lists." You will find stories of danger, excitement, fear, and, in many cases, psychic wounds that will never heal.

More than 15,000 women served in Vietnam--volunteers, entertainers, nurses and military personnel. Now for the first time, their story is told--a harrowing tale of life on the combat lines, where round-the-clock rocket attacks rocked the hospitals, the USO stages and the helicopters in which WACs flew to fire bases and jungle outposts.
