Out of the Shadows. Voices of American Women Soldiers | Ron Farina

Lagrange Books , 2022 , 9781957780009

Out of the Shadows, a compilation of stories of American military women who served in combat, is an eyeopening account of what it is really like to be a woman in a man’s world. The narratives reveal the true courage, strength, tenacity, and leadership exhibited by nine heroic women who share how they fought internal as well as external battles through Iraq and Afghanistan, through doubt, fear and loss, through disabling injuries, amputations and post-traumatic stress.

Violent Resistance - From the Baltics to Central, Eastern and South Eastern Europe 1944–1956 | Michael Gehler, David Schriffl

Brill | Schöningh , 2020 , 978-3-506-70304-0

The end of the Second World war did not mean the end of violence for many regions in Eastern Europe. The establishment of Communist-led governments often met not only civil but also armed resistance. These actions were taken by partisan groups and paramilitary forces which in some cases had been formed already during the war to support axis forces. In other cases – like Poland’s Armia Krajowa – they fought Nazi and Soviet occupiers with the same fervour. The aims of the fighters were the end of Communist rule and – like in the Baltic region – independence from the Soviet Union.
