An Armistice Day item pointing the horrible folly of war. The diary, later supplemented, of a young girl of eighteen who had four years of hospital work during the war in the Red Cross -- a record of suffering and heroism -- of wards and operating rooms of war time Paris of her amours. Descriptions, anecdotes, reflections that are harrowing, moving, humorous, personal. Though not comparable to the many fine and vigorous war books, it adds to the total indictment against war.
