Synopsis
In the fall of 1941, the Philippines was a gardenia-scented paradise for the American Army and Navy nurses stationed there. War was a distant rumor, life a routine of easy shifts and dinners under the stars. On December 8 all that changed, as Japanese bombs began raining down on American bases in Luzon, and this paradise became a fiery hell. Caught in the raging battle, the nurses set up field hospitals in the jungles of Bataan and the tunnels of Corregidor, where they tended to the most devastating injuries of war, and suffered the terrors of shells and shrapnel. But the worst was yet to come. After Bataan and Corregidor fell, the nurses were herded into internment camps where they would endure three years of fear, brutality, and starvation. Once liberated, they returned to an America that at first celebrated them, but later refused to honor their leaders with the medals they clearly deserved. Here, in letters, diaries, and riveting firsthand accounts, is the story of what really happened during those dark days, woven together in a deeply affecting saga of women in war.

- l***m (20)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe seller was A+! This item was lost in the mail. When I realized the package had not yet been received, I checked my order. There, I found a message from the seller asking if the item had been received. It was evident to the seller that there seemed to be a tracking issue. I confirmed it had not been received and the seller refunded my payment without delay. Although I’m disappointed that the book was lost, I couldn’t have asked for better more proactive service!
