Typically when I read WWII historical books, I read about Germany’s involvement. This book focuses on Russia’s involvement in the war. From page one, this book hooked me. It’s a nonfiction book but reads like a fiction book. Elizabeth Wein has done her homework, beautifully weaving the stories of these very brave women into the history of the war. Sometimes during the reading of this book, I found myself imagining myself in these situations and wondering how I’d react, which is amazing for an author to get their reads to do. I’d highly recommend this book if you want to see a different take on the war or even just to see how badass these women were - true frontrunners of their time! So many fascinating details, this is a great choice if you (like me) know very little about the eastern front of WWII. That said, I feel like this read much more like an adult non-fiction than a YA book. If you like YA non-fiction because it tends to be a quicker read, this is kind of the opposite of that. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In the early years of World War II, Josef Stalin issued an order that made the Soviet Union the first country in the world to allow female pilots to fly in combat. Led by Marina Raskova, these three regiments, including the 588th Night Bomber Regiment--nicknamed the "night witches"--faced intense pressure and obstacles both in the sky and on the ground. Some of these young women perished in flames. Many of them were in their teens when they went to war. This is the story of Raskova's three regiments, women who enlisted and were deployed on the front lines of battle as navigators, pilots, and mechanics. It is the story of a thousand young women who wanted to take flight to defend their country, and the woman who brought them together in the sky. Packed with black-and-white photographs, fascinating sidebars, and thoroughly researched details, A Thousand Sisters is the inspiring true story of a group of women who set out to change the world, and the sisterhood they formed even amid the destruction of war.
