A galvanizing
narrative of the wartime role played by U.S. Army nurses—from the
invasion of North Africa to the bloody Italian campaign to the decisive
battles in France and the Rhineland.
More than 59,000 nurses
volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps alone: 217 lost their
lives (16 by enemy action), and more than 1,600 were decorated for
meritorious service and bravery under fire. But their stories have
rarely been heard. Now, drawing on never-before-published eyewitness
accounts—many heroic, some mundane and comic—Monahan and
Neidel-Greenlee take us to the front lines, to the withering fire on
the beaches of Anzio and Normandy, and to the field and evacuation
hospitals, as well as bombed and burned hospital ships. We witness the
nurses—and the doctors with whom they served—coping with the physical
and psychological damage done to the soldiers in combat. We see them
working—often with only meager supplies and overwhelmed by the sheer
number of casualties—to save the lives and limbs of thousands of
wounded troops. With them we experience the almost constant packing up
and moving on to keep up with advancing troops, foxholes dug under camp
beds, endless mud, and treacherous minefields. The vividness and
immediacy of their recollections provide us with a powerfully visceral,
deeply affecting sense of their experiences—terrifying and triumphant,
exhausting and exhilarating.
A revelatory work that at last gives voice to the nurses who played such an essential role in World War II.
