We Band of Angels: The Untold Story of American Nurses Trapped on Bataan by the Japanese by Elizabeth M. Norman
3.0
This is an important story, about the women who were nurses in the Philippines in World War II and ended up in captivity for three years. They survived so much and were so dedicated; their story deserves to be told.
This is accessibly written nonfiction, but it is not narrative. The events and details are reported. I found the first half of the book, about the fall of the US forces in the Philippines, much slower and more difficult to read than the last half, about their captivity and return home.
