Description
During World War II, hundreds of U.S. Army and Navy nurses were stationed in Guam and the Philippines, but few know about their experiences under Japanese captivity.
Five navy nurses on Guam became the first American military women to be taken prisoner by the Japanese after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. More than seventy army nurses survived five months of combat conditions before being captured, only to endure over three years in prison camps.
This book tells the story of these brave women through interviews with survivors and archival research, shedding light on their heroism and sacrifices during a period of unimaginable hardship.
