We Band of Angels

Book started out quite strong bringing this topic of women/nurses in the military during WWII into awareness. However, I thought the book began dragging as the author used quotes from letters/interviews more often to tell the story, rather than using those quotes to build sharper portraits of the women, the experience, and the history involved.

By strongest criticism is that the last third of the book seems more like it was an outline draft, slapped on without much fleshing out.

I'm glad I spent the time reading the book and learning about a historical topic I'd never known about before, but I wouldn't suggest it as a great read.
