This book, according to an acquaintance whose brother had been in the Phillipines at this time, is a very accurate account of the happenings there. I recommend this book highly

The "Angels" story I wanted to find.
I wanted to find the story of my 6th grade Sunday School teacher's sister. I didn't even know her name, but I found it, and her picture and her story in the book. I didn't know the "angels" didn't have to go on the "death march" or that they were evacuated to Corregidor. Or that when they tried to get them to Australia, Rosemary Hogan was captured & put in the Manila prison camp. She didn't die until 1966, even though she was one of the few nurses wounded by the Japanese bombing the hospital camp on Bataan.

Women POW of WWII
This is a great first hand view of the events that unfold during the Japanes invasion of the Phillipines. It helps bring into perspective the events that unfold around the December 7th & 8th. Also, add Tears in the Darkness as a complete read of the events that occured on Bataan. Both are by the authur and her husband Micheal Norman.

Read for Educational Content
We Band of Angels, written by a nurse, about nurses in WWII is worth reading if nothing else for the educational content.. The story jumps around alot, and many characters are mentioned with few standing out , making it hard to follow. The endurance of these nurses through their trials and tribulations will amaze the reader.

Band of Angels - First women in Battle
From the moment, I began to read I was mesmerized. I have been a WWII buff; however, reading the information in this book was just amazing. I learned more from this book than I did from High School History books the interviews from the actual people. I had no idea that Bataan was bombed so few hours after Pearl Harbor. I was so proud of how our men treated the nurses when the battle began, how these women responded to their surroundings and their predicament. I would find myself, reading excerpts to my husband, to my father and my co-workers. Our school books do not teach the truth about McArthur, When those nurses stepped off that plane and began singing the ?Dugout Doug? song, I could almost see them. These women deserve the appropriate metals. I would love to meet these women to show my appreciation of their service and my thanks for how brave they were. To make a reader feel this way after reading the book, you know it was well written and definitely worth reading.
