First Lieutenant Sharon Lane was fatally wounded by fragments from a Russian-made 122mm rocket that was fired into the American base at Chu Lai in the early morning of June 8, 1969. She had been in-country only 51 days. Seven other Army nurses died in Vietnam during the war, but all as the result of accidents and other causes. He is a good writer who has great respect for his subject. The larger events of those times–the American political scene, the progress of the war, the geopolitical maneuverings–are deftly woven into the story of Lane’s middle-class American life, showing how an average individual can be swept up in the tide of history.

My first was purchased from Phillip Bigler approximately 15 years ago. The reason I purchased the book again is my first one got lost. The main reason I bought the book in the first place is I personally saw the "Lone Rocket" that killed Sharon Lane. I have seen this rocket several times since in my nightmares. It was at 0530 on Sunday Morning, June 8, 1969. as I laid in my bed about a mile from the hospital. A wonderful encapsulation of the life and death of Lieutenant Sharon Lane in Vietnam. I ready every word, twice. And, I am about to read it again.

The book seemed to struggle to talk about Sharon herself, possibly because Sharon wasn't in the service for that long of a period, and during that time she up to 84 hours a week in. She worked all the time. Sharon's Character however was portrayed very well, just lacked the in-depth coverage.
