Description
Based on extensive research as well as scores of interviews with those who served and were hospitalized there, this book provides an detailed look at one aspect of the homefront activities that supported the American war effort. The author balances information about the unique location -- one of the country's finest resorts -- with the explanation of how the doctors, nurses and staff did their fundamental job of restoring thousands of young men to health. The complex maintenance of a military hospital is interwoven with the sometimes astonishing stories of the men who came in broken but left healed. Illustrated with black and white photos. 324 pages with index. - from Amzon
