Round Eyes: An American Nurse in Vietnam: New Illustrated Edition (1)

The year was 1969 ― Woodstock, free love, peace marches and war. Life was unpredictable at best, but that didn't stop twenty-year-old Diane Mumper from going after her dream of adventure. She envisioned herself as Cherry Aimes, Army Nurse and watched the movie Mash till memorized. Soon to graduate from nursing school, she joined the Army Nurse Corps, and six months later she began her own journey. Often comical and frequently cynical, Diane's stories describe her experiences from basic training through duty in one of the most deadly war zones in South Vietnam. Along the way, she faces a truth about herself and the war far different than she ever expected.
