We have all heard of Joan of Arc, but not the cross-dressing soldiers whose disguises were so effective the men around them never realized who they were fighting with. Forgotten Warriors shines a light on women in war, from the Mino,the all-female army the protected Dahomey from the West for two hundred years, to the Night Witches, Soviet flying aces that decimated the Nazis. Against a backdrop of sieges and desperate battles, rebellions and civil wars, Sarah Percy brings these extraordinary women to life, and sets the record straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Vulnerability, strength and defiance . . . in exploring the history of women in combat, Forgotten Warriors tackles their exclusion from the historical record' The Spectator, Books of the Year\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Fascinating' BBC History\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Magnificent . . . could not be more timely' The Monthly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Truly impressive and rigorously researched, this book should be in all libraries' New York Journal of Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44856421974275,"sku":"9781529344332","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781529344332_fe1661c9-13ba-4255-bf67-9b1124dc0a5e.jpg?v=1731410695","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.live\/products\/9781529344332","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
