Review
The fascinating story of the enormous contribution made by more than 180,000 young women who were recruited into the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II and who provided desperately needed nursing services in more than 2,000 hospitals as student nurses. The authors provide a vivid record of heroic actions that are forever a credit to this truly great generation of nurses. A readable work of major and enduring historical importance. --Phillip Kalisch, PhD
