En savoir plus sur le livre
A Different Light. . .is a first-person novel written from the pages of the author's diary during her year's tour of duty in Da Nang, So. Vietnam from Oct, 1967 to Oct, 1968. Hired by the RED Cross, she worked on the III Marine Amphibious Force Headquarters for the First and Third Marine Divisions. There she delivered hundr3eds of death and disaster messages as well as being available 24/7 for emotional support during a war no one understood. Long hours at work and exposure to the War's ugliness at its height proved to be costly on her stamina and compassion. She saw death, decay, beauty and newness, first love and hate and marveled at the extremes all lived under. She witnessed survival tactics used by civilians, the military and even herself in a thankless, unappreciated, poorly run and ultimately forsaken war. Everyone was confused by the War's politics, lack of emotional support from home, the inability to get ahead and the ultimate sacrifices so many gave for what was thought as 'Freedom for the Oppressed'. It was time to grow up.
