The Nurses Doctors and Patients.
It also features the experiences of the characters when they return to the U.S. on leave, or at the end of their tours of duty.
The show does not shy away from showing the gruesomeness of war!
If you have the time, a "binge watch" is suggested.
For, as the book, it is hard to put down!
The show is based on the book "Home Before Morning" (1983) written by a former U.S. Army Nurse by the name of............. Lynda Van Devanter.
The book takes the reader from Van Devanter's wish to serve her country, through the adventure she thought her deployment to Vietnam would be, and her culture shock upon returning to.... "The States,"
The TV show was cancelled before it could fully address.... Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms.... or the problems they bring.
Lynda Van Devanter died in 2002

"On June 9 , 1969, a patriotic, happy-go-lucky young nurse fresh out of basic training arrived in Vietnam to serve a year's tour of duty as a second lieutenant in the Army. It was a year that was to rob Lynda Van Devanter of her youth, her patriotism, her innocence.......and her future."
