Lyuba Vinogradova: Avenging Angels
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
"The girls came from every corner of U.S.S.R - factory workers, domestic servants, teachers and clerks, and a few were older than twenty. With their country on its knees, and millions of its men already dead, grievously wounded or in captivity, from 1942 onwards thousands of Soviet women were trained to be snipers. "In a narrative that travels from the sinister catacombs beneath the Kerch peninsula to Byelorussia's primeval forests and ,finally to the smoking ruins of the Third Reich, Lyuba Vinogradova recounts the untold stories of these brave young women and offers an unforgettable record of their experiences: the rigorous training, the squalid living quarters, the blood and chaos of the Eastern Front, and those moments of happiness that occasionally allowed the girls to forget their horrifying circumstances". Translated from Russian by Arch Tait. "A powerful and moving account of women rising up to take arms, free their country - and, Paradoxically, assert their common humanity" EAMON DELANEY, Irish Independent
