Nevertheless,
they resisted.
The Saigon Sisters shares the stirring accounts of nine remarkable women who met at an elite secondary school but forsook safety and comfort to fight for their country’s independence. In this book, “destined to be a classic” (filmmaker Ken Burns), the Sisters recount their lives—and double lives—juggling their roles as family members and freedom fighters. Through regular bombing runs, years in the jungle facing malaria and deadly snakes, and a complicated post-war period, these women persevered and ultimately reunited. Their stories are a testament to quiet strength and the enduring bonds of lifelong friendship.
