This review is from: Desert, bamboo, and barbed wire: The 1939-45 story of a special detachment of Australian Army Nursing Sisters, fondly known as the "Angels in Grey", and their fate in war and captivity (Hardcover)

This book is *not* the historical memoir that it purports to be.

It has been denounced by several experts in this topic area, including the President of the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps Association and the President of the NSW Ex-POW Association. (In a joint protest letter to the Australian Library and Information Association, InCite Magazine, January 27, 1984.)

Their comments about this book include:
- "unpardonable"
- "hurtful"
- "a tissue of lies"
