Not only is this an interesting account of the Army and Navy nurses who served under combat conditions in the Philippines in 1941-42, but depicts their experiences as POWs until 1945.
It also covers the nurses who were ordered out at the end just under the Japanese noses. And how they reacted when they were hailed as heroines in the U.S. and their story was distorted. Then it follows all of them through their lives after the war.
I also learned numerous facts about the defenses of the Philippines I hadn't know, and I've read numerous books on this early action of World War II.
