women at war

From the wives and mothers tending their children while waiting for their men to return home to the resistence fighters and spies struggling to overthrow the axis. From the Red Cross girls and nurses who tended the sick to the Aufseherins of the Concentration Camps who helped select inmates for the gas chamber the role of women during the second world war stretched beyond the tradtional, for better or worse. This book mostly covers the women on the allied side with great detail though some relevence to the lot of women in Germany and Japan and other axis nations while some hints at their darker aspects on their side which are briefly included. Definately a must read for those who are interested in World war two.
