5.0 out of 5 stars What A Way to Spend A War, August 2, 2002

Diane Fessler (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What a Way to Spend a War: Navy Nurse POWs in the Philippines (Hardcover)

The Navy nurses who were imprisoned in the Philippines have a great story to tell, and this book recreates the strange and depressing life they had to share all those years. Never knowing what the next day would bring, or if they were ever going to be rescued, these brave young women survived terrible starvation,and malnutrition with great spirit and fortitude. I know some of these nurses, having written about them in No Time For Fear: Voices of American Military Nurses in World War II. Dorothy Danner's story is included, and I will never forget her voice, telling how they continued to be Navy Nurses to other prisoners, despite their own hardships.
