Описание: Kaia, Heroine of the 1944 Warsaw Rising tells the story of one woman, whose life encompasses a century of Polish history. From Siberia, to the German occupation of Poland, to the Warsaw Rising, to a Soviet prison, to the rebuilding of postwar Warsaw--Kaia`s memories are given life and context in this biography that sheds light not only on her life, but on twentieth-century Poland, as well.
This is the first biography in English of a World War II heroine of the Greek resistance, who joined the British secret intelligence services (SIS) shortly after the German occupation of Athens and was betrayed, arrested and executed one month before the Germans’ departure. She was a prosperous housewife with seven children, who had no experience in politics or military affairs, and yet she managed to build a formidable escape, espionage and sabotage organization that interacted with the highest levels of SIS agents in Occupied Greece.

Of course, the men (noble or otherwise) did not go to the wars alone, and this highly regarded book provides biographies of some of the notable women who 'followed the cross' to the Holy Land to attempt to wrench control of the spiritual heartland of Christianity from the the followers of Islam. All eight Crusades are considered from the First Crusade of 1090 to the final and Eighth Crusade of 1272. The individual biographies of the women, Adela of Blois, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Berengaria of Navarre, Isabella of Angouleme, Violante of Jerusalem and Eleanora of Castille, are organised into concise chapters offering historical insight into the background and fortunes of each crusade. This text provides a fascinating insight into the role of significant women engaged in the 'great quest' and is essential for all those interested in women of the medieval period or the Crusades.

Описание: Osprey's examination of Soviet women who fought in World War II (1939-1945). When the Great Patriotic War began, many women volunteered for the armed forces, but most of them were rejected. They were steered towards nursing or other supportive roles. Many determined women managed to enter combat by first volunteering as field medics and nurses, then simply picking up a gun during the battle, and charging boldly into the line of fire. In the area of aviation, women also contributed greatly to the war effort. In rickety biplanes, they flew bombing missions at night, without parachutes; their only protection was the darkness. This book tells the stories of the brave women that were awarded the Soviet Union's most prestigious title - Hero of the Soviet Union - for their bravery in protecting their homeland.
