Le Thi Ma was a young girl during the Diem regime. She reports harsh treatment, forced labor, and learning little at school other than how to salute the flag and sing the national anthem. She says she was present for the Cedar Falls search-and-destroy operations by the Americans, during which the inhabitants of Cu Chi dismantled unexploded American bombs and recombined the parts to create landmines, which they then used against American tanks and trucks. She recounts attacking Americans herself from a foxhole by detonating landmines along highways.
