This is a marvelous memoir of not just a woman in the
military, but the first woman to command an Officer's Club in Thailand, during
the Vietnam war. There are many photos, to help bring you, and that portion of
history, ever closer.
If you were there, this book will bring back lots of memories
and probably more humorous ones than not, though there will be a few sobering
moments, I'm sure.
If you weren't there, it's a must read. Not only a fair
description of what it was like through the eyes of a woman, but a good
perspective on what war really is—and isn't.
Fighter pilots are a breed apart, and she has done a
marvelous job of describing them—from their egos to their complex natures. She
wrote a book about real people, in a real war, and always remembered that
discretion is often the better part of valor.
Well done, Ma'am, well done!
