    The Untold Story of the American Women Trapped on Bataan

    A meticulously researched oral history that recounts the experiences of American military nurses who were trapped in the Philippines after the fall of Bataan and Corregidor during World War II; using interviews, diaries, and official records, it follows their evacuation attempts, capture and internment by Japanese forces, the brutal transports and harsh conditions of prison camps, the struggle against disease and starvation, and the courage, solidarity, and resourcefulness they displayed—bringing to light a neglected chapter of wartime service and sacrifice by women.
