Super Short Summary

We Band of Angels by Elizabeth M. Norman recounts how a group of American and Filipino nurses, trained by the Army or Navy Nurse Corps, heroically continued to care for the sick and wounded during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines, enduring near-bombings, the harsh environment of Bataan, and three years of internment, despite severe shortages, extreme conditions, and underappreciation when they returned home. Topics include severe malnutrition, forced marches, and violence.
