Description - Between the Battles: A Novel by Helen Nolan
Based on actual events, this novel tells stories of civilian women working in the Vietnam War. Few in number, and fitting into no category - neither military nor medical, neither local nationals nor US citizens - rules and regulations do not seem to apply to these women. The author faces the horror, brutality and corruption at the heart of the war, but also focuses on what went on between the battles, particularly the activities of the United States Post Exchange in Vietnam, which at the time of its creation was the world's third largest retail organisation. Lucid, witty and engaging, the book spans the spectrum of emotional experiences through the stories of friends and lovers who are drawn closer through their extraordinary circumstances.
