Abstract
"Forgotten warriors: a history of women on the front line; The women behind the few: the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and British intelligence during the Second World War" is a review of two books that explore the experiences of women in combat and their contributions to war efforts. The authors, Sarah Percy and Sarah-Louise Miller, aim to highlight the often overlooked role of women in military history. Percy's book provides a broad coverage of women in combat throughout history, while Miller's book focuses on the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and British intelligence during World War II. Both books emphasize the need to address gaps in the literature on gender, race, and regional representation in military history and security studies. [Extracted from the article]
