Campbell, John
They Were Our Ours: Gloucester County's (NJ) Loss in Vietnam [author's website]

Cammermeyer, Margarethe with Chris Fisher. 
    Serving in Silence

Biography.  I'm not sure how much of this book deals with her Vietnam service but it got good reviews.  The TV movie was quite good.  Judy Davis is a favorite of mine.   However when you see the video price, I suspect you will prefer to rent rather than own! 

Carlock, Chuck
    Firebirds : The Best First Person Account of Helicopter Combat in Vietnam Ever Written

This immodestly titled book is an account by a pilot who was with the 71st Assault Helicopter Company. I have it, it looks pretty good, but I haven't read it yet.  Published Aug. 1997.

Carroll, Gerry
    No Place to Hide : A Novel of the Vietnam War

Published December 1996. Apparently a suspense thriller. 

Castle, Timothy
    At War in the Shadow of Vietnam : United States Military Aid to the Royal Lao Government, 1955-1975

Catherall, Don R.
    Back from the Brink : A Family Guide to Overcoming Traumatic Stress

An excellent book by a Vietnam veteran (Marines) who now counsels veterans. 

Chalsma, H. W.
    "The Chambers of Memory : PTSD in the Life Stories of U.S. Vietnam Veterans"

Case studies of veterans with commentary.   I just glanced through the book, but it appears no women were interviewed.  Feb 1998
