And If I Perish
And If I Perish: Frontline U.S. Army Nurses in World War II | Evelyn Monahan, Rosemary Neidel-Greenlee
3 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
In World War II, 59,000 women voluntarily risked their lives for their country as U.S. Army nurses. When the war began, some of them had so little idea of what to expect that they packed party dresses; but the reality of service quickly caught up with them, whether they waded through the water in the historic landings on North African and Normandy beaches, or worked around the clock in hospital tents on the Italian front as bombs fell all around them. For more than half a century these womens experiences remained untold, almost without reference in books, historical societies, or military archives. After years of reasearch and hundreds of hours of interviews, Evelyn M. Monahan and Rosemary Neidel-Greenlee have created a dramatic narrative that at last brings to light the critical role that women played throughout the war. From the North African and Italian Campaigns to the Liberation of France and the Conquest of Germany, U.S. Army nurses rose to the demands of war on the frontlines with grit, humor, and great heroism. A long overdue work of history, And If I Perish is also a powerful tribute to these women and their inspiring legacy. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Such an interesting and encompassing account of the activities of the Army Nurse Corps in World War II, from North Africa all the way to Berlin, complete with pieces of interviews and archive photographs.

Today is Veterans Day in the US. These are some of the women who paved the way for me & allowed me to serve in the military. Happy Veterans Day!
