(Write a Review)
Paperback
$19.95
In 1938, before the United States joined the conflict, a Minnesota woman was covering the war in Europe as a reporter. Another was a military nurse at Pearl Harbor when the bombs fell. Minnesota women witnessed the fall of France, the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa and Italy, the Battle of the Bulge, D-Day and the invasion of Normandy, the liberation of France and of the concentration camp at Dachau, and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
In this rich chronological account, Virginia Wright-Peterson reframes our understanding of the war through the specific and powerful stories of individual women. It was their war, too.
