📱 eBook en inglés ANGELS IN TRENCHES: THE COURAGE AND SACRIFICE OF WORLD WAR I'S HEALING FORCES

Amid the thunder of artillery and the devastation of trench warfare, a different kind of hero walked the battlefields of World War I—one armed not with weapons, but with compassion, resolve, and unbreakable courage. Angels in the Trenches offers teachers a clear, educational exploration of the frontline nurses who saved countless lives while facing unthinkable conditions.
This narrative brings to life the world inside field hospitals, casualty clearing stations, and makeshift infirmaries where nurses worked tirelessly in mud, blood, and chaos. Readers will discover how they managed infections before antibiotics, treated massive trauma with limited resources, and provided emotional strength to soldiers enduring shock, fear, and loss.
Drawing from diaries, war records, medical reports, and firsthand testimonies, the book highlights not only the daily routines and medical challenges these women faced, but also their resilience in the face of artillery bombardments, gas attacks, disease, and the psychological toll of constant loss.
Designed for classroom use, it offers structured insights, historical context, and human-centered storytelling that help students grasp the incredible impact of these often-overlooked heroes. Their bravery changed the course of wartime medicine—and the world.
