Summary:
This book is about the army nurses of WW II. Chapters about WW II in general, about nurses in Europe, and about nurses in the Pacific are loosely connected. Some text recounts important events of the war; other portions tell more personal recollections. Illustrated with photographs, the book includes maps and a timeline.
Teaching Ideas:
This book would be an interesting addition to a text set about war or WW II. Along with Rosie the Riveter, the book could be used to explore the role of women in war. Learners may want to locate places on a world map.
