White Coolies: Australian Nurses Behind Enemy Lines by Betty Jeffrey tells the remarkable story of Australian nurses who survived captivity during World War II. The narrative follows Jeffrey’s own experiences, offering a vivid glimpse into wartime bravery and resilience.

As a memoir and biography, the book blends personal recollection with historical detail, making it an engaging read for young adults, adults, and anyone interested in true military stories or Australian history. Its accessible style also appeals to readers aged nine to twelve seeking authentic war‑time accounts.

The trade paperback is in solid condition with a tight binding and no dog‑ears or stuck pages. Light foxing appears on the closed page edges and on the first and last five pages, but the interior is free of writing and comes from a smoke‑free home.

Published in 1993 by Angus & Robertson, this Australian‑origin title remains a valued addition to collections of biographies, true stories, and war memoirs.
