Two Women, One War: An Unlikely Friendship During the Vietnam War

Jane Barton Griffith

Women have been overlooked in the history of the Vietnam War. The gap is now filled with this riveting, true memoir. Two Women, One War is a story of the insanity of war, the human capacity for resilience, the power of hope, and the strength of women.

Wars are profoundly tragic, horrific, and cruel. Yet these two female authors-an American and Vietnamese-found joy in their friendship amid the human and physical destruction in Vietnam. Their story is not sad. Instead, this stunning memoir unpacks how they coped with the fear and found joy in the discovery that they shared a common humanity and desire for peace and love. They have kept their friendship alive over the past fifty years and felt compelled to share stories of their rare friendship as they grew older.
