Doreen Drewry Lehr
Dear Reader,
I was one of 1.5 million children evacuated to the presumed safety of the countryside from British cities during WWII, in a heart-wrenching, social experiment that tore families apart. A GIRL'S WAR is both a memoir and a historical analysis with the resounding message that childhoods do matter, particularly for those who have spent their lives waiting to go home.
"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 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
