The new book Hanoi Journal 1967 ( Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 2007) by Carol Cohen McEldowney and edited by Suzanne Kelley McCormack and Elizabeth R. Mock is featured in a review on the front page of the current Women's Review of Books.
The review is titled Blasts From the Past and is written by Alice Echols.
As Echols writes, "McEldowney never imagined that her journal would see the light of day,
and, as a consequence it has an appealing off-the-cuff quality. Hanoi Journal 1967
is informative in all sorts of ways, and when she is not meticulously
cataloguing the finer details of North Vietnamese society—the
organization of its factories, neighborhoods, schools, and women’s
organizations—and gathering evidence of American bombing and the
resulting atrocities, it is entertaining as well."
Thanks to the work of Healey Library's Elizabeth Mock and her
collaborator Suzanne Kelley McCormack, this book now sees the light of
day.
