Description
Women have been overlooked in the history of the Vietnam War. The gap is now filled with this riveting, true memoir. Two Women, One War is a story of the insanity of war, the human capacity for resilience, the power of hope, and the strength of women.
Wars are profoundly tragic, horrific, and cruel. Yet these two female authors-an American and Vietnamese-found joy in their friendship amid the human and physical destruction in Vietnam. Their story is not sad. Instead, this stunning memoir unpacks how they coped with the fear and found joy in the discovery that they shared a common humanity and desire for peace and love. They have kept their friendship alive over the past fifty years and felt compelled to share stories of their rare friendship as they grew older.

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.

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
