About the Author
Evelyn M. Monahan, a retired psychologist, served in the Women’s Army Corps from 1961 until 1967 as a corpsman and psychiatric technician. She subsequently took her M.Ed. and Ph.D. at Georgia State University and her M.Div. in theology and ethics at Emory University. She worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs from 1980 to 1996. <br><br>Rosemary Neidel-Greenlee<b> </b>served in the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps on active duty from 1962 until 1965, and on reserve duty between 1989 and 1991. She has a master’s degree in nursing from Emory University, and worked at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Atlanta from 1981 to 2002.<br><br>Monahan and Neidel-Greenlee are co-authors (with Agnes Jensen Mangerich) of <i>Albanian Escape: The True Story of U.S. Army Nurses Behind Enemy Lines</i> and co-authors of <i>All This Hell: U.S. Nurses Imprisoned by the Japanese</i>.
From the Inside Flap
A galvanizing narrative of the wartime role played by U.S. Army nurses―from the invasion of North Africa to the bloody Italian campaign to the decisive battles in France and the Rhineland. <br><br>More than 59,000 nurses volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps alone: 217 lost their lives (16 by enemy action), and more than 1,600 were decorated for meritorious service and bravery under fire. But their stories have rarely been heard. Now, drawing on never-before-published eyewitness accounts―many heroic, some mundane and comic―Monahan and Neidel-Greenlee take us to the front lines, to the withering fire on the beaches of Anzio and Normandy, and to the field and evacuation hospitals, as well as bombed and burned hospital ships. We witness the nurses―and the doctors with whom they served―coping with the physical and psychological damage done to the soldiers in combat. We see them working―often with only meager supplies and overwhelmed by the sheer number of casualties―to save the lives and limbs of thousands of wounded troops. With them we experience the almost constant packing up and moving on to keep up with advancing troops, foxholes dug under camp beds, endless mud, and treacherous minefields. The vividness and immediacy of their recollections provide us with a powerfully visceral, deeply affecting sense of their experiences―terrifying and triumphant, exhausting and exhilarating.<br><br>A revelatory work that at last gives voice to the nurses who played such an essential role in World War II.

And If I Perish: Frontline U.S. Army Nurses in World War II
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Fair. In World War I, 59,000 women voluntarily risked their lives for their country as U.S. Army nurses. When the war began, some of them had so little idea of what to expect that they packed party dresses; but the reality of service quickly caught up with them, whether they waded through the water in the historic landings on North African and Normandy beaches, or worked around the clock in hospital tents on the Italian front as bombs fell all around them. For more than half a century these women s experiences remained untold, almost without reference in books, historical societies, or military archives. After years of reasearch and hundreds of hours of interviews, Evelyn M. Monahan and Rosemary Neidel-Greenlee have created a dramatic narrative that at last brings to light the critical role that women played throughout the war. From the North African and Italian Campaigns to the Liberation of France and the Conquest of Germany, U.S. Army nurses rose to the demands of war on the frontlines with grit, humor, and great heroism. A long overdue work of history, And If I Perish is also a powerful tribute to these women and their inspiring legacy. Seller Inventory # CIN0375415149A
