This was a very difficult book to read because of the nature of the content being WW2 and recounting how the incredible women known as the Angels persevered and survived both in jungle outpost conditions and internment camps.
These women accomplished the most amazing things even while being affected by disease and injuries themselves. They cared so deeply for their patients and others and they did not receive the acknowledgement and recognition deserved. These women had an amazing story and this book helps to tell it, even if it does miss some of them due to a lot of them women passing away or unwilling to revisit the atrocities of the past.
