The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America by Christopher C. Gorham

challenging funny informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

How had I never heard of this woman??? I owe her so much, as does every American, but especially as a female veteran.  It's infuriating that she has been written out of the textbooks so thoroughly.  Kudos to Gorham for bringing her to my attention.  I would not say his writing is the most elegant that I've read, especially since it is so substantially peppered with partial quotations of correspondance and news media, but it is certainly effective at bringing this phenomenal character and historical dynamo to life.  Highly recommended.
