"This followup to Atwood's Women Heroes of World War II is part helpful informational text, part enthralling narrative; each of these 15 chapters could constitute a cliff-hanger screenplay."
--Booklist, starred review
"Kathryn Atwood's finely detailed and fast-paced writing makes for fascinating reading, exquisite close-ups of little-known women, and a much needed perspective on World War II. Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor and through the long years of Japanese occupation, women stood bravely with the victims of war and thwarted the enemy. Finally, their stories are told."
--Mary Cronk Farrell, author of Pure Grit: How American World War II Nurses Survived Battle and Prison Camp in the Pacific
