Product Information
A galvanizing narrative of the wartime role played by U.S. Army nurses-from the invasion of North Africa to the bloody Italian campaign to the decisive battles in France and the Rhineland. More than 59,000 nurses volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps alone: 217 lost their lives (16 by enemy action), and more than 1,600 were decorated for meritorious service and bravery under fire. But their stories have rarely been heard. Now, drawing on never-before-published eyewitness accounts-many heroic, some mundane and comic-Monahan and Neidel-Greenlee take us to the front lines, to the withering fire on the beaches of Anzio and Normandy, and to the field and evacuation hospitals, as well as bombed and burned hospital ships. We witness the nurses-and the doctors with whom they served-coping with the physical and psychological damage done to the soldiers in combat. We see them working-often with only meager supplies and overwhelmed by the sheer number of casualties-to save the lives and limbs of thousands of wounded troops. With them we experience the almost constant packing up and moving on to keep up with advancing troops, foxholes dug under camp beds, endless mud, and treacherous minefields. The vividness and immediacy of their recollections provide us with a powerfully visceral, deeply affecting sense of their experiences-terrifying and triumphant, exhausting and exhilarating. A revelatory work that at last gives voice to the nurses who played such an essential role in World War II.

Reviews
"This compelling book tells the moving stories of World War II heroines who were never recognized, the nurses of the Army Nurse Corps. They were courageous, tireless, and committed to serving on the frontlines of the war. They saved and rebuilt lives, and they gave many of usincluding myselfa most valuable gift: hope." Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Medal of Honor recipient "From the onset of the North African campaign until the conquest of Germany, the nurses of the Army Nurse Corps endured the same hardships, danger, overwhelming sacrifices and risk to life as the soldiers they were destined to save. . . . Heroines all, their story begs to be told." Admiral Frances Shea Buckley, former director, U.S. Navy Nurse Corps "This scrupulously researched book will please professional scholars and general readers with its lively narrative, telling detail, and first person accounts. It is an important corrective to the current historical record in which these brave women . . . don't rate a mention. It is also a worthy memorial to those who died in action." Jill Ker Conway, author ofThe Road from CoorainandWhen Memory Speaks "I could not put this book down. The untold story of these brave, young women who sacrificed their health and safety to care for the wounded during the many battles of WWII is inspiring . . . a marvelous portrayal of nursing at its best." Col. Elizabeth P. Finn, U.S. Army Nurse Corps (Ret.) "A powerful account of army nurses in the European Theatre in WWII. The stress of working in a hostile environment challenged them physically, mentally, emotionally, and clinically. Yet they never wavered from their duties. They served despite the fact they were not accorded equality with their comrades." Brig. Gen. Connie L. Slewitzke, U.S Army (Ret.), former director, U.S. Army Nurse Corps "A priceless contribution to the rich legacy of Army nurses. . . . A masterpiece . . . This book pulls no punches as the authors graphically paint a picture of hardship, horror, pain, death, and unbelievable dedication to duty." Maj. Debora Cox, former U.S. Army Nurse Corps historian "An amazing story of courage under fire." Jerry G. Burgess, director, U.S. Army Women's Museum "Wonderful stories and wonderful pictures record the inspiring history of American women who went in harm's way in the European and Mediterranean theatres during World War II." Linda Grant De Pauw, author ofBattle Cries and Lullabies: Women in War from Prehistory to the Present "And If I Perishcaptures the previously untold story of the bravery, ingenuity, dedication, patriotism, and caring of WWII Army Nurses. The recording of personal feelings is so honest and vivid that I feel that I know them personally. It is an honor and privilege to follow in their foot steps." Maryann T. Steinmetz, COL, AN " . . . must reading for all health professionals and those interested in World War II history." R.Adm. Faye G. Abdellah USPHS (Ret.), former Deputy Surgeon General
