Description
In this groundbreaking new history of the role of American women in World War II, Andrews presents the inspiring, shocking and heartbreaking stories of the 350,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II. They were pilots, codebreakers, ordnance experts, gunnery instructors, metalsmiths, chemists, translators, parachute riggers, truck drivers, radarmen, pigeon trainers, and much more. They were directly involved in some of the most important moments of the war, from the D-Day landings to the peace negotiations in Paris. These women— who hailed from every race, creed, and walk of life— died for their country and received the nation’s highest honors. Andrews provides a definitive and comprehensive historical account of their service, based on new archival research, firsthand interviews with surviving veterans, and a deep professional understanding of military history and strategy. -- adapted from jacket
