'Backwash Of War: The Human Wreckage Of The Battlefield As Witnessed By An American Hospital Nurse' Summary
In her book 'Backwash of War', Ellen Newbold La Motte recounts her experiences as a nurse in a French field hospital during World War I. She provides a harrowing account of the daily horrors she witnessed, including the gruesome injuries suffered by soldiers and the emotional toll of caring for the dying. La Motte's writing is both unflinching in its depiction of the brutality of war and deeply compassionate in its portrayal of the human spirit. She exposes the failures of the medical system and the government's neglect of disabled veterans, while also highlighting the resilience and courage of those who fought and survived.Book Details
