It was refreshing to see the author so open about her feelings. She was unbiased about the war but rather emphasized the effects it had on civilians. She made you address uncomfortable things about war which could be hard for someone to get through but I feel like is necessary if you truly want to know the effects of the Vietnam war

This book had me in awe from page one, to watch the story be told was beautiful I teared up half way through because the battles faced were amazing but scary in some ways too. I would highly recommend and suggest this book to anyone who wants to hear of a time that wasn’t all the best and the story of two women who concurred the unimaginable and oh so beautifuly at that.

A true story written by two women and their friendship during the Vietnam War. I was in awe many times reading about their lives. A must read!

Two Women, One War offers an intimate view into the effects the Vietnam War had on the people of Vietnam. The author is open about her feelings and what she saw and experienced during her time in Vietnam. I appreciated that she was unbiased either way about the war and focused instead on the realities of innocent lives forever altered by war. As the reader I felt the injustice of the tiger cages, torture, and needless loss of life. The Vietnam War is still a sensitive subject for some but I believe this book will shed light on the true effects the war had on people. Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this intimate memoir. All thoughts are my own.
