They served under Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose in the Indian National Army. Because the creation of an Indian all-female regiment of combat soldiers was a radical military innovation in 1943, and because the role of women in todays broader context of Indian culture has become a prevalent and pressing issue, the extensive testimony of the surviving veterans of this unit is timely and urgent. The history of these brave women soldiers is little known, their extraordinary service and the role played by Bose remains largely unexplored. In the years since the RJR surrender in 1945, the story of Subhas Chandra Bose and the Rani Regiment of female combatants as signature symbols of both the national fight for independence and of Indian womens struggle for gender equality has taken on aspects of myth. Lengthy interviews with the veteran Ranis together with archival research comprise the evidence that separates the myth of the Bengali hero and his jungle warrior maidens from historical fact, and this resulting book presents an accurate narrative of the Ranis. The facts are nearly as impressive as the legend.</p>...2611240Women at War501696https://www.gandhi.com.mx/women-at-war-9781682473160/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2170813/3da76608-ae6e-42c7-ae72-ad84c66e3c6e.jpg?v=638383605957230000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20189781682473160_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9781682473160_<p>Wise and Baron relate the compelling war experiences of thirty American female soldiers in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, highlighting their extraordinary display of dedication to their mission and to the soldiers and sailors with whom they served.
