Sinossi

Women At War explores the often-overlooked contributions of women throughout military history, challenging traditional narratives that focus solely on men. It reveals how women's involvement in conflicts expanded beyond traditional support roles, impacting both the battlefront and the home front. The book argues that women's contributions were instrumental to the war effort, yet their roles have been underestimated in historical accounts. From filling critical manufacturing positions in factories to engaging in espionage and codebreaking, women played pivotal roles in shaping military outcomes and societal transformations. This book emphasizes the necessity of recognizing women's participation for a complete understanding of military history and the evolution of gender roles.

 
The book progresses through key sections, beginning with an introduction to societal norms regarding women's roles during different historical periods. It then investigates women's essential work in factories (The Arsenal of Democracy), their contributions to intelligence gathering (Cloak and Dagger), and their direct engagement in combat roles (On the Front Lines). By using primary sources like diaries and military records, the book provides a rigorous and balanced assessment of women's wartime experiences.

 
Ultimately, Women At War advocates for a reassessment of traditional military histories to include the indispensable contributions of women.

Pitcairn The Rebels of the...

Olivier Goujon

Who are the descendants of Fletcher Christian today? How did the Bounty rebels survive in virtual autarky on their island at the end of the world for ten generations? Why did the British crown finally take its revenge on the mutineers who had defied it since 1790? 
Olivier Goujon tells the epic story of the most astonishing human community, both mythical and terrifying, in the form of an adventure story and a journalistic investigation. The destiny of about fifty men and women who were rejected and disconnected from the rest of the world, from the progress of science and evolution. A damned nation that has lived in extreme difficulty for 230 years, often against morality and human rights.
Caught up by the modern world, secret diplomacy, international trade, and the King's justice, the island is now at a dramatic turning point in its history.

Tommy French - How British First...

Julian Walker

‘Napoo’, ‘compray’, ‘san fairy ann’, ‘toot sweet’ are anglicized French phrases that came into use on the Western Front during the First World War as British troops struggled to communicate in French. Over four years of war they created an extraordinary slang which reflects the period and brings the conflict to mind whenever it is heard today.  Julian Walker, in this original and meticulously researched book, explores the subject in fascinating detail. In the process he gives us an insight into the British soldiers’ experience in France during the war and the special language they invented in order to cope with their situation.  He shows how French place-names were anglicized as were words for food and drink, and he looks at what these slang terms tell us about the soldiers’ perception of France, their relationship with the French and their ideas of home. He traces the spread of ‘Tommy French’ back to the Home Front, where it was popularized in songs and on postcards, and looks at the French reaction to the anglicization of their language.
