Memories of Maggie: Martha Raye : A Legend Spanning Three Wars

Nonfiction: Martha Raye was best known for her bizarre humor acting and jazz singing. Troops knew her as a nurse in war-zone operating rooms and an entertainer at remote firebases where while under fire she comforted severely wounded soldiers in foxholes. Fortin writes of the deep appreciation and love thousands of veterans had for Martha Raye. For more than fifty years her care for troops as individuals exceeded her role as entertainer.
