{"product_id":"9781869403010","title":"While You're Away: New Zealand Nurses at War 1899-1948","description":"These moving accounts of the New Zealand nurses who served their country during wartime shed light on the dangers they faced and the bravery they exhibited in South Africa from 1899 to 1902, in the wars from 1914 to 1918, in Spain during the Civil War, and in a far-flung variety of countries from 1939 to 1948. Drawing on diaries, letters, and interviews, this book focuses on the personal experiences of individual nurses and their memories. The result is a fascinating picture of the adaptability, practicality, sensitivity, sense of humor, and strength of these women.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Rogers\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eTurning the Pages\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWrite and Be Published\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEarthquakes\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Lucky Landing\u003c\/i\u003e.
