I have read this book in 2021 amidst covid and I remember the amount of impact it had on me. This book resonates the war and women paradox situated in decisions of states that reflects structurally embedded inequalities. It is a war-told story with references based on true events situated in world war II, Russia. Recently an excellent review done in The Daak. A wonderful revisit to this read in the concise.

Recently in reading a piece about WWI, it struck me that all of my life I have heard the American soldiers of the Great War called doughboys. What a strange name. It invokes an image of the men America sent to France, who licked Kaiser Bill and fought to make the world safe for Democracy. But I cannot recall ever hearing why they were called doughboys. The origin of the term "doughboys" for U.S. service members in World War I is uncertain, but it was commonly used for troops in the American Expeditionary Forces deployed to Europe. Various theories exist about how the nickname came about. According to one explanation, the term dates back to the Mexican War of 1846-48, when American infantrymen made long treks over dusty terrain, giving them the appearance of being covered in flour, or dough. As a variation of this account goes, the men were coated in the dust of adobe soil and as a result were called “adobes,” which morphed into “dobies” and, eventually, “doughboys.” Another theory, the American journalist and lexicographer H.L. Mencken claimed the nickname could be traced to Continental Army soldiers who kept the piping on their uniforms white through the application of clay. When the troops got rained on the clay on their uniforms turned into “doughy blobs,” supposedly leading to the doughboy moniker. However it arose, it was just one of the nicknames given to the fighters in the Great War. For example, “poilu” (“hairy one”) was a term for a French soldier, as a number of them had beards or mustaches, while a popular slang term for a British soldier was “Tommy,” an abbreviation of Tommy Atkins, a generic name (along the lines of John Doe) used on government forms. The doughboy's image remains prominent in over 100 World War I memorial sculptures scattered throughout the U.S. today. These statues, mostly from the 1920s, were often funded by grassroots veteran and women's organizations. Even small towns could afford these statues as they were mass-produced and inexpensive. Communities eagerly held up the doughboy as a hero as they dealt with new outbreaks of Spanish Flu, the rehabilitation of returning veterans, and the first Red Scare when Americans were on high alert over Communist revolutionaries. #ClaimsKrewe

I am knee-deep in book #5 in the Conor Thorn Series. The research is done, the outline is complete, and the writing has commenced. I am still playing with titles. For me, the title sometimes becomes clear once I am deep into the first draft. I shared the title I am currently focused on with my wife and she hated it! I guess we’ll see where it goes... #AmReading #ConorThornSeries #WorldWarII #BookUpdate #NewBook #WWII #HistoricalFiction #ThrillerNovel

6: On April 26, 1933, Nazi German official, Hermann Göring, formed the Gestapo.
