"The history of the Nurse Corps is as surprising as it is violent: during World War I, nurses were the first U.S. Army units to fly the American flag in France from their base hospitals in support of British troops; in World War II, Army nurses served at every front, from Alaska to the Philippines, from England to the beaches of Anzio, where several died in bombings while tending to the wounded.
With the advent of helicopters to rapidly transport wounded soldiers to hospitals, MASH units and their nurses became immediate caretakers of severely traumatized patients from front-line action in the Korean War. These units continued their work in the next decade during the Vietnam War."--BOOK JACKET.
