Summary:

"Harriet E. H. Earle explores the Vietnam War and U.S. comics by analyzing the less-visible players in the war: the Vietnamese on both sides of the conflict; women and girls; and returning veterans. The book examines how and, more importantly, why these groups are represented as they are, if at all, and the ways in which these representations have affected views of the war, both during and since"-- Provided by publisher.
