A Thousand Sisters: The Heroic Airwomen of the Soviet Union in World War II (YA)

This is more of a non fiction book of the famous women that made up the Night Witches Regiment of the Soviet Union, one of three regiments of women you still don't hear much about on the history channel or in history books but made such a big difference in the war they fought and died in.  Most of the Night Witches were just teens trying to help their country.  Elizabeth Wein is a master at telling the story of those whose story might have been lost to time and death, and this is no different, the story of the Night Witches is one that needs to be shouted out and not forgotten, that those women were heroes for their country and should be remembered as such and for what women can do.  It was a sisterhood, a bond, that can't be broken.
This is a wonderful book of heroism and a unbreakable bond.  It shows what heart really is during a trying and awful time.  Elizabeth Wein has another great book on her hands and we hope she never stops writing about these wonder women from both sides.
