520    As the German Luftwaffe subjected Britain's major cities 
       and ports to unremitting waves of aerial bombardment, 
       doctors, nurses, and first aiders constantly risked their 
       lives to give urgent treatment to the severely wounded. 
       Over 80,000 casualties were sustained during this period 
       and city hospitals, especially in London, were working 
       under extreme conditions. The diaries of London nurses 
       reveal that they were confronted by a vast array of 
       appalling injuries on a daily and nightly basis. This book
       follows the fortunes of three major London hospitals as 
       they struggled to cope with mounting casualties: The Royal
       London Hospital, St Thomas's Hospital, and Great Ormond 
       Street Hospital. Together, through previously unpublished 
       wartime diaries, letters, and reports of medical and 
       nursing staff, they highlight the many human stories of 
       tremendous courage and hope that lived and breathed within
       the corridors, theaters, and wards of London's hospitals 
       during the Blitz.
