Description: NO TIME FOR FEAR: Voices of American Military Nurses in World War II by Diane Burke Fessler. VERY GOOD First Edition unstated, full number line paperback, 1996. NOT a reprint. INSCRIBED to previous owner and SIGNED by author. Summons the voices of more than 100 women who served as nurses overseas during World War II, letting them tell their story as no one else can. Compiled and transcribed from more than 200 interviews with American military nurses of the Army, Army Air Force, and Navy who were present in all theaters of WWII. Their stories bring to life horrific tales of illness and hardship, blinding blizzards, and near starvation--all faced with courage, tenacity, and even good humor. This unique oral-history collection makes available to readers an important counterpoint to the seemingly endless discussions of strategy, planning, and troop movement that often characterize discussions of the Second World War. VERY GOOD First Edition unstated, full number line paperback, gently read with all but 3 pages clean and unmarked. Pages 34 and 35 show underlining with a star in the margin (scan #3) and page 36 has one word underlined. Title page is INSCRIBED to previous owner and SIGNED by author (scan #2). Discoloration on scanned pages is from shadows cast by scanner light. Pages are white. Slight wrinkling to first 2 title pages. Edges clean and unmarked with spine uncreased. Cover shows minor corner and edge wear with slight crease to front top center edge. Very light scuffing and rubbing front and back. No tears. Not a remainder. Collectible condition. 6" x 9." Vintage photos, maps, chronology, and text. 280 pgs.
