Drawing mostly from scattered and elusive references in memoirs, testimony, and fiction, Weaver (English, Southern Nazarene U.) pieces together the prevalence of rape by US soldiers, first of Vietnamese women, and increasingly of US women in the military. She argues that the refusal of Americans to acknowledge their military's capacity for sexual abuse enables the current situation in which US female soldiers find themselves victims of their fellow soldiers' sexualized violence. Her topics are the erasure of rape in the Vietnam War, Vietnamese accounts of war-time sexual trauma, American witnesses to wartime rape and sexual abuse, sexual abuse in antiwar literature by Vietnam veterans, and victimized veterans and disappearing women in the Vietnam War film. The study began as her PhD dissertation, apparently at Rice University. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
