Donut Dolly: An American Red Cross Girl's War in Vietnam

Donut Dolly: An American Red Cross Girl's War in Vietnam Book Description

Donut Dolly puts you in the Vietnam War face down in the dirt under a sniper attack, inside a helicopter being struck by lightning, at dinner next to a commanding general, and slogging through the mud along a line of foxholes. You see the war through the eyes of one of the first women officially allowed in the combat zone as a civilian noncombatant. Joann Puffer Kotcher is faced with life or death decisions. In Vietnam, she visited troops from the Central Highlands to the Mekong Delta, from the South China Sea to the Cambodian border. At four duty stations, she set up recreation centers and made mobile visits wherever commanders requested, including remote combat zone jungles.
