This book was fantastic. The women featured were absolutely incredible, and their life stories were fascinating. It is just a taste of the world of women correspondents in the time of WWII, and it makes me crave more fiercely. Wow.
Lee Carson wrote of life during war that it, "narrows down to an existence divided between fighting to stay alive and sweating out being killed. The longer in the combat world the more improbable that other world--of sweethearts, mothers, baths, beds--becomes. Death, dirt, and fatigue are the familiar. All else fades into a dream. Even such strong emotions as fear and hate are eventually wiped out by battle."
Martha Gelhorn says, "War is a malignant disease, an idiocy, a prison, and the pain it causes is beyond our telling or imagining; but war was our condition and our history, the place we had to live."
Check out this book. The women are amazing, as our their stories and photos.
