Strong Hearts, Wounded Souls: Native American Veterans of the Vietnam War by Tom Holm

5.0

One of the most informative texts ever written about Native American veterans that served in the Vietnam War, complete with an introductory chapter about the traditional views of the "warrior" figure in Native American communities. This text not only discusses the traditional past and its conflict with the Vietnam War, but allows for veterans to share their own stories. Rife with source material, both scholarly and from oral interviews, this book is a must-read for those interested in warrior identity for Indigenous peoples or those interested in Vietnam War studies.

It is good to see that Native American soldiers are no longer forgotten, as authors like Tom Holm are helping to give them a voice they previously did not have.
