This book consists of 26 stories of heroines whose volunteerism and humanitarianism had critical effects on the war against the Nazis during WWII. The stories of espionage, sabotage, resistance and rescue are set in Germany, Poland, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Great Britain, and the United States.

While most war histories focus on men, Women Heroes of World War II focuses on heroic women, some who were still teenagers. The stories are intriguing, exciting, harrowing, and inspiring.

The book contains photographs, a glossary, notes, a bibliography and an index, and will make an excellent addition to a library’s WW II collection.
