Prior to her heroic efforts in nursing during the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale experienced tremendous psychological and spiritual anguish as she struggled to answer what she believed to be a divine call to service. Traveling to Egypt and Greece in 1849-50, she recorded her thoughts in a diary which has never been published in its entirety. Presented with never before published manuscript material and two unusual pieces of short fiction, this work demonstrates that Nightingale gleaned ancient Egyptian, Platonic, and Hermetic philosophy, Christian scripture and the works of poets, mystics, and missionaries in an attempt to understand the nature of God and her role in the divine plan.

Florence Nightingale in Egypt and Greece: Her Diary and ''Visions''
A mixture of personal memoir and group biography organized around Mary Reynold Powell's experience as a nurse in Vietnam during the time the war was essentially over, but still exacting a fearsome toll in human lives and suffering. Writing with a hard-earned clarity that refuses to accept any evasions or cheap comfort, Reynolds Powell (she married Doug Powell, who's one of the voices that sounds in her book) builds her condemnation of the Vietnam War specifically and of the violence and greed that caused it around interviews with men and women whose paths crossed hers. A necessary part of the group testimony to a historical moment most Americans would prefer to sentimentalize or forget.
