SVETLANA ALEXIEVICH The Unwomanly Face Of War. First Edition, Fine Condition.

For more than three decades, SVETLANA ALEXIEVICH was the memory and conscience of the 

twentieth century. 

When the Swedish Acadamey awarded her the Nobel Prize, it cited her invention as a new kind 

of literary genre, describing her work as a history of the soul. 

Our author chronicles, with much sympathy as vigor, the groundbreaking oral history of the more 

than a million Russian women, who fought during the 2nd world war. 

They fought alongside the men as nurses, doctors, pilots, tank drivers, machine-gunners and snipers, 

and yet after the victory, their efforts and sacrifices were soon forgotten. 

Until now ! 

330 pages, crisp and clean throughout. A First edition in this Fine a condition, is indeed a rare find.
