We Band of Angels : The Untold Story of American Nurses Trapped on Bataan by the Japanese
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


An excellent book that I quickly got sucked into. The author manages to focus on the nurses themselves, providing various personal details, without losing the view of their overall place in the war. She manages to weave broad overall events with individual events, as well as providing information regarding many of the nurses after the war. It also contains some very good photos and diary entries from some of the nurses.
