Hello, I’m your 13th Thumbs up. I enjoy different reviews. I’m not a reader I use to be. I keep busy reading all my KZitem comments. God Bless all the nurses that went & dealt with that. Enjoy your weekend 😊😊😊 Sharon in SC

Loved this book review. That was an interesting observation about the book being "too long" because I know exactly what you mean. I remember the incredible disrespect that Viet Vets got upon their return and it was shameful. The treatment that the nurses got upon their return was terrible - I didn't know this until the book review. This is a very important book - highlighting a terrible time in our history. So glad Kristen Hannah took this issue on. She's a great writer.

Absolutely a part of history that should be known. I haven’t read it but it sounds very interesting.

My husband is a Vietnam Veteran. He was treated poorly when he came home as well. Things are much better for him now, but even last night his night terrors woke me. I read this book (📖 library copy) and cried and I agree, it is an important part of history, everyone should read it. Interesting perspective from this nurse who learned hands on in such a horrific experience. Here we are today, what have we learned? War, what is it good for?

I love Kristen Hannah. I will get the book. As a child, I never knew about the war that was going on either. As a young teen, I remember watching the movie Coming Home and it was the first time I heard about the Vietnam war. Thanks for sharing. ❤

Yes we were sheltered from the war just like she says in the book.

I think I am 11 or 12 years older than you and I remember the Vietnam war. I remember how disrespectful people were to the veterans. It was so unkind. My brother-in-law served in Vietnam and people actually did spit on him. This sounds like a really good book about a tough subject.

I was just appalled that our country treated our veterans like that. Is this a book you think you could read?

My husband is a Vietnam Veteran, so grateful he made it home. So sorry for the loss of your cousin. So many lives lost and even today his comrades who did make it home are passing from side affects of all the chemical exposures. Many more than just agent orange.

This book would really mean something to you Joyce. You should try to read it. Even a few pages a day and you will get hooked plus a lot you can probably relate too.
