I never knew there were nurses trapped on Bataan during World War II. During my education, my focus was on European history with a specialization in World War II, so I did not read a whole lot about the Pacific Theatre. This book was very good. I learned so much about nurses during World War II from this book, and certainly about the horrible conditions they faced on Bataan. These personal accounts from these women who struggled under the assault and then who struggled in the jungle and under Japanese occupation was so moving. I highly suggest this book for those who are interested in the Pacific Theatre.
