Women in War

A Gripping Collection of the Untold True Stories of History’s Bravest Women Warriors

De: David Yuzuk

Narrado por: Julia Whelan

In the shadows of history's greatest conflicts, women have always been warriors—yet their stories remain untold. Women in War uncovers over twenty raw, true accounts of the fearless women who fought and served, from ancient battlefields to the jungles of Vietnam and the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Step into their combat boots: nurses dodging gunfire, spies sabotaging enemies, soldiers enduring unimaginable loss. Facing sexism, trauma, and overwhelming odds, these heroines reveal that true valor beats in the heart, not just on the battlefield.

Brought to life through meticulous research and exclusive firsthand interviews by retired police officer and acclaimed author David Yuzuk, this intimate collection honors the unbreakable spirit of military women. Narrated by Julia Whelan, the voice behind the New York Times bestseller The Women by Kristin Hannah, it's a profound tribute to the unsung forces who shaped our world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Gripping stories of female heroism that will awe and inspire.” —NY Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo

“I thought I was going to die that day! The Viet Cong launched a brutal attack, and the explosion hit like a freight train, its deafening roar slamming into my ears just seconds before the shockwave hurled us off our feet, Doors were ripped from their hinges, and windows were shattered into a thousand pieces.

The pandemonium jolted me back to reality. I grabbed my flak jacket and sprinted to the Intensive Care Unit. Were the enemy already inside our perimeter, AK-47s in hand, bayonets fixed? It didn’t matter. My mission was clear — Protect the soldiers in my care. They came first, no matter what.” —67th Evac Nurse Ginny Dornheggen

An overlooked group of women

There are some great stories in this book about formidable women, and their roles in various conflicts. I’m married to a woman who happens to be a disabled vet. We both very much enjoyed this book and strongly recommended.

Must Read. Really!

These heroes stories must be heard, spread, honored. I appreciate each one of these women and my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the book and audio book.
