Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume contains a collection of letters written by Florence Nightingale during the period that brought her lasting fame - the Crimean War. Writing amid scenes of horror and chaos, she gives vent to her indignation in letters to officials, family and friends. She analyzes the causes of the disaster, expounds on the recruitment of nurses, enlarges on her revolutionary measures for the welfare of troops, and gives free rein to her hopes, doubts and frustrations about the nursing service.
