(Norman tells the dramatic story of fifty women - members ...)
Norman tells the dramatic story of fifty women - members of the Army, Navy and Air Force Nurse Corps - who went to war, working in military hospitals, aboard ships and with air evacuation squadrons during the Vietnam War. Here, in a moving narrative, the women talk about why they went to war, the experiences they had while they were there and how war affected them physically, emotionally and spiritually.

(In the fall of 1941, the Philippines was a gardenia-scent...)
In the fall of 1941, the Philippines was a gardenia-scented paradise for the American Army and Navy nurses, stationed there. War was a distant rumor, life a routine of easy shifts and dinners under the stars. On December 8 all that changed, as Japanese bombs began raining down on American bases in Luzon, and this paradise became a fiery hell. Caught in the raging battle, the nurses set up field hospitals in the jungles of Bataan and the tunnels of Corregidor, where they tended to the most devastating injuries of war and suffered the terrors of shells and shrapnel.
