The Nightingale of Mosul: A Nurse's Journey of Service, Struggle, and War

This volume is the story of Susan Luz, who, at age 56, was deployed to Iraq. As a public health nurse, she had worked in jails, psychiatric wards, and a violent inner city high school. But nothing prepared her for what she would see in Iraq. Working under constant fire, Luz routinely witnessed the most horrific effects of the war. By the time she returned home, she had helped save the lives of 30,000 wounded soldiers, contractors, Iraqi civilians, and detainees. Her dedication to her job earned her the Bronze Star in honor of her selflessness and the life-saving work she carried out under unfathomably difficult circumstances.
