Dear Librarian, In anticipation of the German bombardment of the British Isles, the government launched "Operation Pied Piper," which at the time was the largest movement of people in the history of the world. Later in the war, I was one of those evacuees. The long-term effects of such massive upheaval, coupled with the confusion and devastation of war, not anticipated by government planners or even acknowledged in the literature until the past two decades. "Doreen Lehr has been brave enough - and smart enough - to raise the heavy curtain on a British girl's wrenching wartime experiences... A Girl's War makes so clear that in any survivor's life, 'post-war' can last a long long time." -Cynthia Enloe, author of Nimo's War, Emma's War: Making Feminist Sense of the Iraq War "This is an excellent book primarily because of its honesty... This will certainly go on my student's reading list." -Dr. Martin Parsons, University of Reading Doreen Drewry Lehr www.agirlswar.com
