About the Book

FLANDERS, March 1915. Elsie Knocker and Mairi Chisholm, both avid members of the British Motor Gypsy Club, get ready to serve in the Flying Ambulance Corps, created by Major Hector Munro to spirit the wounded from the Flanders battlefields to field hospitals in the rear. The two young women are joined by Lady Dorothy Fielding, the wife of the Earl of Denbigh, and a beautiful, 22-year old American nurse, Helen Gleason. But mere weeks after their deployment to Flanders, they discover the awful truth: what's killing the soldiers is not their injuries, but the horrendous, three-mile drive over unpaved, rutted roads to the rear. When the British Army Medical Corps refuses to acknowledge the problem, the four women take matters into their own hands - by setting up their own, unauthorized dressing station right on the front line. For the next three years, they battle not only German artillery and gas attacks, but also the British military establishment itself, determined to "put these women in their place" and shut down their post. Only by virtue of their heroism do the "Four Angels of Pervyse" persevere, aided by a local nobleman, Baron de T'Serclaes, who has deeply and irrevocably fallen in love with Elsie. Inspired by true characters and events, THE ANGELS OF WAR, now in its second print, is a riveting and deeply moving saga of love, passion and bravery in the midst of some of the worst carnage the world has ever seen. The book is written by best-selling author and award-winning screenwriter Jean-Pierre Isbouts. His most recent books include the National Geographic bestsellers The Biblical World (2007) and Young Jesus (2011); The Mona Lisa Myth (2013) and Young Leonardo (2017).
About the Author: Jean-Pierre Isbouts is a historian, a bestselling National Geographic author and award-winning filmmaker. He first gained worldwide renown with his 2006 book "The Biblical World," which became an international bestseller and is now in its fourth print. This success led to a series of National Geographic books, including the bestsellers In the Footsteps of Jesus (2011) and The Story of Christianity (2014). In 2013, Dr. Isbouts authenticated a canvas discovered in a Swiss vault as Leonardo's first version of the Mona Lisa, predating the Louvre version by at least seven years. This led to his book The Mona Lisa Myth (2013), which has since been made into a film starring Alessandro Demcenko as Leonardo da Vinci, and narrated by Morgan Freeman. His other publications include National Geographic's The Archaeology of the Bible (December, 2016); and Young Leonardo (2017), in which he argues that Leonardo was not the favored court artist in Milan that traditional scholarship holds him to be. Jean-Pierre has also written and directed a number of acclaimed television specials, including "Manet in Love" starring Alyssa Bresnahan, "Van Gogh Revisited," narrated by Leonard Nimoy, and "Walt: The Man Behind the Myth" with Dick van Dyke.
