Memoirs of a Swedish War Nurse is a lively interview American journalist Lois Lindstrom had with Karin Wiking, a Swede who served in five incredible Swedish Red Cross missions during WW II, and today continues to serve the helpless and homeless for Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in four Scandinavian countries. She also served as the walking companion to Axel Munthe, the best selling author and the Swedish queen's personal physician; and she recalls interesting conversations with movie star Ingrid Bergman, French singer Maurice Chevalier, and Swedish opera star Jussi Bjorling.
