American Daughter Gone to War: on the Front Lines with an Army Nurse in Vietnam

Winnie Smith was a 21-year-old student nurse when she joined the Army "to see the world" and was sent to Vietnam. American Daughter Gone to War is the extraordinary story of how she was transformed from a romantic young nurse into a thoughtful, battle-scarred adult. It is a mirror for how our country dealt with the shattering experience and aftermath of the war.
