The story of the World War II is the story of ordinary men and women performing extraordinary feats. Women played a part in the Allied conflict as spies, as ATS soldiers, as Waafs and Wrens, but their contribution has not been fully recognised. In this study, the author records the experience of many valiant women including Joanna Stavridi, "the Nightingale of Crete", Claire Phillips, the American "Mata Hari of the South Pacific", nurse Margot Turner who survived a Japanese POW camp, and Squadron Leader Diana Rowden who served as an SOE agent in Nazi-occupied France and was executed at Natzweiler. Drawing on first-hand accounts and dozens of face-to-face interviews, the author explores the heroism and motives of women at war.

In the early 1930s Winifred Fortescue and her husband Sir John settled in Provence, in a small stone house amidst olive groves. Almost at once they were bewitched by the scenery, by their garden - a terraced landscape of vines, wild flowers, roses and lavender - and by the charming, infuriating, warm-hearted and wily Provencals.  When exiled from Provence by the Second World War, she returned to England and joined the Red Cross in order to be useful.  With her distinctive and spirited manner, Lady Fortescue brings alive a changing world in this book packed with incident, atmosphere and above all hope.

It is unique among wartime memoirs, for it was written within months of the events described, and with all the immediacy of the memories of someone who was in the very thick of the action.The author gives graphic descriptions of his experiences on night bombing attacks against heavily defenced enemy targets like Duisberg, Dusseldorf and Essen, and related a dramatic shoot-out with German fighters over LaRochelle in broad daylight durng July 1941.

The last thing that Barbara Paynter's husband said to her as he boarded a train to Paddington in August 1939 was "get a farm going, darling".That is precisely what she did. This is the remarkable true story, based on the letters written to her husband stationed in the Middle East, of a young woman who knew nothing about farms or animals, but who determinedly "did her bit" for the war effort by turning her well-ordered home into a farm. In this she was aided by her handyman and housekeeper and egged on by her children.She soon learned the mysteries of farming, becoming intimately acquainted with brown leghorns, Rhode Island reds, sex-linked pullets, transporting pigs in the back of a 1933 Ford Eight, Jersey cows and their ways, ducks that refuse to leave the kitchen and geese that ate the herbaceous borders.This is a unique insight into the dramatic changes to one woman's lifestyle in wartime, written with great humour, optimism and plenty of practical advice.
