 I thought I knew... June 9, 2000
44 out of 48 found this review helpful
I thought I knew about Bataan and Corregidor before I read ALL THIS HELL. I thought I knew what it meant to be civilized. I thought I knew the meaning of the words depravity and atrocity. I thought I knew the meaning of the words courage, bravery and heroism. I thought I knew the meaning of the word, Hell. But there is the Hell you see, the Hell you may be able to escape and the Hell that has to be survived. This book should be mandatory reading for all human beings who consider themselves civilized as well all Americans who appreciate our freedom. If you do not appreciate freedom now, you certainly will after reading ALL THIS HELL. After reading this book, when I hear the word, "Veterans", I will always think of women as well as men.
All This Hell June 5, 2000

All This Hell, a compelling narrative describing the gruesome horrors endured by those little remembered women, the nurses of WWII. A vivid account of saving "Private Ryan" from the nurses' perspective. It depicts the hazards and personal trauma these women endured daily from Japanese brutality. Moreover, this book gives insight into what the POW camps were about and how much was hidden from the public. The stories of these women had added another chapter to our history books.
Women POWs of WWII April 11, 2000
All This Hell is a fascinating book chronicaling the hardships and experiences had by female military nurses held as POWs by the Japanese in the Philippines during WWII. This chapter of American History has been overlooked for too long. All This Hell will open your eyes to this amazing chapter of American History, and to the heroic achievements and dedication of the nurses of WWII.
A TALE OF TRUE COURAGE April 7, 2000

If history was this interesting in high school, there would be a lot more history majors in our colleges! ALL THIS HELL is a riveting account of the courage and humor employed by U.S. Army and Navy nurses to withstand years of imprisonment by the Japanese in World War II. These women are truly heroines and were pioneers in our country's armed forces. I recommend ALL THIS HELL to everyone who appreciates a well written and meticulously documented page turner. The story will change the way you think about freedom, and leave unforgettable images in your heart and mind.
