description: "In 1942, sixty-five women, members of the Australian Army Nursing Service, were evacuated from a blazing Singapore, to escape captivity by the invading Japanese. Of that group, twenty-four survived the bombing, shipwreck, drowning, shooting, sickness, disease, and captivity in Sumatra to return to Australia three and a half years later. The author was one of those nurses and this is their story, told with simplicity and power." (back cover).
