“The romance of trains collides with the bloodletting of war in a high-stakes game on rails, as told in the pages of this remarkable book. Historian Alexandra Kitty has written a scholarly yet accessible work inspired by her own grandmother’s role as a nurse on a hospital train despite personal tragedy . . . Absorbing reading, a riveting and well-documented triumph.”
—JACQUELINE L. CARMICHAEL, author of Heard Amid the Guns: True Stories from the Western Front, 1914–1918
