The Girls Who Stepped Out of Line by Major General Mari K. Eder

Once again we have stories of behind the scenes heroism by women who stepped up to help win WWII and stepped out of line to do what needed to be done. A tennis pro turned spy, an amputee who was one of the most sought after female spies behind enemy lines, resistance fighters and much more.
They did these selfless acts risking their lives and couldn't tell anyone about their role. There was no ticker tape parade when these ladies came home after the war and picked up their lives. The author who has made her career in the armed forces, has an easy going storytelling writing style that pulls you in and you get a sense of how much research went into getting the story right. For any reader that is fascinated by both the female based WWII fictional stories and the real women the stories inspired. Unbelievable what they accomplished with so little training.
