Sobre este item
Princeton: For The Author, 1976. First Edition. 8vo. Publisher's photographic card covers, titled in black to spine, very light wear, and some slight soiling to the white rear panel, a clean, bright copy. 164pp. Internally clean, inscribed by the author to the half title:
"With all good wishes, Lucy Caldwell, Princeton, New Jersey."
The privately printed autobiographical account of Lucy Caldwell's remarkable journey to Vietnam at the height of the war, to help wounded servicemen after seeing anti-military propaganda. An astonishing effort for a civilian with no military experience, and one with more than its share of challenges; Caldwell's attendance upon wounded GI's was accompanied by a cloud of Shalimar perfume, which the soldiers, even the ones who couldn't see, quickly figured out meant that they weren't doing so well, prompting one man she was attempting to comfort to groan: "Oh no, I can smell her. I'm not that bad. I'm going to make it.
