⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
George Barton’s Angels of the Battlefield is a moving tribute to the heroic Catholic nuns who risked their lives tending to the wounded and dying during America’s wars, especially the Civil War. This historical work not only recounts their selfless acts of charity but also testifies to the living out of the Gospel in the midst of suffering. Barton’s vivid storytelling brings to life the courage, compassion, and unshakable faith of these women, who often labored under fire, cared for soldiers on both sides, and brought spiritual comfort to the dying.

From battlefield hospitals to makeshift infirmaries, these sisters became Christ’s hands and heart to the afflicted. The book is both a historical document and an inspiring spiritual witness — a reminder that true Christian heroism often wears the humble habit of service. 

In Angels of the Battlefield, George Barton chronicles the extraordinary service of Catholic nuns in the United States’ time of war. Focusing particularly on the Civil War, this work honors the women religious who left the safety of convent walls to tend the wounded, administer the sacraments in cooperation with priests, and provide comfort to soldiers of all faiths and allegiances.

Through meticulous historical research and heartfelt narrative, Barton preserves the memory of these unsung heroines whose faith and compassion transcended political divisions.

This Catholic classic is a testament to the power of Christian charity, the dignity of every human soul, and the unwavering courage of women consecrated to God. Essential listening for those interested in Catholic history, military history, and stories of sacrificial love.
