title: G.I. Nightingales: The Army Nurse Corps in World War II
author: Barbara Brooks Tomblin
description: Tomblin (history, Rutgers Univ.) has written an account of the 80,000 army nurses who served during World War II. These nurses participated in every theater of the war; some died while on duty, and many were decorated for their bravery. Along with their deserving stories, the reader learns the history of women nurses in the military. Tomblin allows the nurses to tell their stories in their own words, describing everything from operating room procedures to their participation in the Normandy invasion. The writing is engaging and should have broad appeal for everyone interested in World War II.?Dorothy Lilly, Grosse Pointe North H.S. Lib., Mich.<br />Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
