{"product_id":"world-war-ii-allied-womens-services-9781841760537","title":"World War II Allied Women's Services","description":"The contribution of women to the Allied war effort during World War II (1939-45) was massive. Apart from their many vital roles 'on the home front', about a million Soviet, 500,000 British and 200,000 American women, and tens of thousands from other Allied nations, served in uniform with the armed forces. To put these figures in perspective: enough American women served to free sufficient able-bodied men to form 15 infantry divisions. It was not only in the USSR that their duties took them into harm's way; hundreds of British Commonwealth and US servicewomen died, and many were decorated. This book gives a concise introduction to the organisation and uniforms of these services, with an emphasis on the British and US forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841760537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.78h x 7.34w x 0.29d","brand":"Martin Brayley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52181319057589,"sku":"9781841760537","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_6dfd88cf-28cf-4572-ac63-52cdce33c57b.jpg?v=1768922677","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/world-war-ii-allied-womens-services-9781841760537","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
