What a terrible accent. Not even close to an Indian accent. I wish Judith West would have just read it out naturally. Just made me angry to hear her accent - terrible terrible terrible. ruined the book for me

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 380
In The Unwomanly Face of War, Alexievich chronicles the experiences of the Soviet women who fought on the front lines, on the home front, and in the occupied territories. These women - more than a million in total - were nurses and doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners, and snipers. They battled alongside men, and yet, after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were forgotten.
