Can't wait to read this book!

I have always loved history, but not just facts and figures. Oh no, I like to know about the people who went through what we now call "history". What was it like? Did they know the events they lived were going to be taught to children in schools? Tell me more than "a war was fought on here on March 2" blah blah blah. What were the soldiers wearing? What did they eat? Was it cold? Hot? Did that affect the outcome? Were they scared? Angry? Tell me about their lives. Was someone waiting for them back home?

Here is a book that promises all these things. Not only is it a personal account of one citizen's struggle through the Vietnam War, but it's that of a female surgeon. Very compelling stuff. However, near as I can figure, it's only been published in Vietnamese. Amazon doesn't have it. Anyone know more about this book? Does it come in English yet?
