I had no idea that Russia had female snipers. ( ) A fascinating read through the memoirs of a truly bad ass woman. If you liked American Sniper, then I suggest this book. If you like Russian history, I recommend this book. If you like military history, then seriously, get this book. What a rarity to have a woman in this sort of position years ago. Lady Death is readable and informative. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"In June 1941, when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, she left her university studies, ignored the offer of a position as a nurse, to become one of Soviet Russia's 2000 female snipers. Less than a year later she had 309 recorded kills, including 29 enemy sniper kills. She was withdrawn from active duty after being injured. She was also regarded as a key heroic figure for the war effort. She spoke at rallies in Canada and the US and the folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote a song, 'Killed By A Gun' about her exploits. Her US trip included a tour of the White House with FDR. In November 1942 she visited Coventry and accepted donations of £4,516 from Coventry workers to pay for three X-ray units for the Red Army. She also visited a Birmingham factory as part of her fundraising tour."--Amazon.com. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
