This is an English translation of Soviet sniper, Lyudmila Pavlichenko’s memoir. She is officially credited with 309 confirmed kills in 1941 and 1942. I especially enjoyed the chapters where discusses her travels in the United States with Eleanor Roosevelt.
Summer Reading: The Unwomanly Face of War
An absolutely gorgeous book or oral history with Soviet women who fought in World War II by Nobel-Prize winning author, Svetlana Alexievich. This is the best book that I have read about the experience of women in war. Highly recommended.
