"..the account that is here published provides some unusually deep insights into the hitherto obscure formative stages of the revolutionary movement in South Vietnam, particularly the beginnings of the NLF in one of the key provinces there in 1959-60. Centering on the political and military role of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Dinh, a woman who became one of the NLF's most prominent leaders, this memoir also provides eloquent testimony to the important part played by women in Vietnam's post-war struggle for independence." - Quoted from George McT. Kahin's Preface. Fine .
