Helmets and Lipstick: An Army Nurse in World War Two

Helmets and Lipstick, first published in 1944, is a first-hand account by Second Lieutenant Ruth Haskell of her service in the Army Nurse Corps as an nurse during World War Two. Of note was her unit's presence during the Operation Torch invasion of North Africa in late 1942, where the nurses and ground troops were under heavy enemy fire. Haskell's wit, humor, and dedication to her work and those in her care are evident throughout this enjoyable, informative book.
