Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. She Was an American Combat Nurse During WW II Synopsis Grady Hospital, Georgia, 1941. Meet Beatrice Harrington, Chief of Nursing in the White section and Dora Mae Williams, Chief of Nursing in the Black section. Because of segregation during that time, these two exceptional nurses never meet in person, although they share similar career paths. War is ravaging Europe and racial discrimination is rampant in the U.S. Both nurses join the Army Nurse Corps and work in jungle hospitals-Bea in Baguio, Philippines province of Bataan and Dottie in Tagap, Burma.
