They also served
This is the first book of its kind - examining the crucial role these women played in World War II. Here are the intimate accounts of twenty-eight servicewomen, many of whom risked their lives during the war. These and others were the pioneers of what decades later would become the Women's Revolution. Olga Gruhzit-Hoyt contacted hundreds of organizations, veterans groups, and individual women who told their stories in interviews, letters, and accounts written especially for this important book. These women came from farms, universities, small-town America, and big cities.

A Time Remembered
"The Vietnam War was the longest American war as well as being one of the costliest to our nation. At its height, over half-a-million U.S. troops were "in country." Major combat units began to arrive in early 1965 and had returned home to the "land of the big PX" eight years later in 1973. Over that period more than ten thousand American women served in Vietnam."--BOOK JACKET. "It was an ugly, dirty war. Where the combat zone began and ended was often indistinct. All Americans were looked on as targets by the enemy. Whey then did American women go to Vietnam? What was their life like in the war zone?"--BOOK JACKET. "What were their lives like after they came home? A Time Remembered provides answers to these questions and more. In doing so it is also a fitting tribute to these women who gave so much."--BOOK JACKET.
Exorcism
Discusses the practice of exorcism with descriptions of possessed people from ancient times to the present.
