The evocative diaries of a young nurse stationed in northern France during the First World War, published for the first time. A rare insight into the great war for fans of CALL THE MIDWIFE. In April 1915, Dorothea Crewdson, a newly trained Red Cross nurse, and her best friend Christie, received instructions to leave for Le Tréport in northern France. Filled with excitement at the prospect of her first paid job, Dorothea began writing a diary. 'Who knows how long we shall really be out here? Seems a good chance from all reports of the campaigns being ended before winter but all is uncertain.' Dorothea would go on to witness and record some of the worst tragedy of the First World War at first hand, though somehow always maintaining her optimism, curiosity and high spirits throughout. The pages of her diaries sparkle with warmth and humour as she describes the day-to-day realities and frustrations of nursing near the frontline of the battlefields, or the pleasure of a beautiful sunset, or a trip 'joy-riding' in the French countryside on one of her precious days off. One day she might be gossiping about her fellow nurses, or confessing to writing her diary while on shift on the ward, or illustrating the scene of the tents collapsing around them on a windy night in one of her vivid sketches. In another entry she describes picking shells out of the beds on the ward after a terrifying air raid (winning a medal for her bravery in the process). Nearly a hundred years on, what shines out above all from the pages of these extraordinarily evocative diaries is a courageous, spirited, compassionate young woman, whose story is made all the more poignant by her tragically premature death at the end of the war just before she was due to return home.

Dorothea Maria Dietrich ("Dorchen" to her family) was just a child of eleven when Germany declared war on Poland in September 1939. She was a typical German schoolgirl from an average family thrust into the extraordinary circumstances of war. Her memoir vividly describes the price she, her family, and all the German people paid for Hitler's ambition. Relived through her memories, it is truly a story of childhood innocence lost, but also of survival through grit and courage. She endured air raids, bomb shelters, military training, capture, imprisonment, sexual assault and harrowing escape. The author has created a razor-sharp, clear-eyed and tense narrative about her life during this frightening time, as well as the story of her early struggles as a German war bride settling into a new life in America. This is Dorchen, and she is a remarkable woman.

Dorothea Dix was almost forty years old when she discovered that people, especially poor people, with mental illness were "confined in cages, closets, cellars, stalls, pens chained, naked, beaten with rods, and lashed into obedience." Outraged by this knowledge, Dix led a forty-year crusade for the humane treatment of people with mental illness. Year after year, she traveled thousands of miles by stagecoach, boats, horseback, and railroad to investigate and expose the horrendous conditions. She lobbied legislators, governors, and presidents to provide treatment and facilities for people with mental illness. She took her crusade to Scotland, Italy, and Russia. During the Civil War, she served as the Superintendent of the Female Nurses of the Army, as such she had more authority and power than any other woman had had in the military prior to and during the Civil War. After the war, she resumed her crusade. When Dorothea Dix died in 1887, people around the world honored her. Proclamations, testimonials, and tributes were spoken and printed from the United States to Japan to England. A prominent American doctor wrote, "Thus had died and been laid to rest the most useful and distinguished woman America has yet produced."

Dorothea Wollin was just a young girl when American bombs demolished her German town. Uprooted overnight, she and her family found themselves on a journey of survival across Europe. Like many German families, they had little understanding of the topsy-turvy world into which they had been thrown, or the atrocities which precipitated it. Looking back, Dorothea came to realize that she was not only a war survivor, but that she had survived "Uncle Hitler," the term of endearment with which her parents ignorantly referred to the Fuhrer. This is a story of adventure, bravery and challenges that could have destroyed weaker souls. Dorothea's experiences gave her a thirst for freedom, which led her to America. It is also a story of the quest for meaning in a dark world, a quest that led Dorothea to faith in Christ, and to a freedom bigger than that of country or politics.

On a cold, winter day in 2008, Dorothea McCollum, an 85-year-old widow living in Hamilton, Ohio, pulled down two boxes from the top shelf of a closet. Those boxes contained nearly 1,000 letters that she and her husband Bud had written to each other during World War II. They had remained untouched since the couple had moved into their new house in 1949. But once she began opening the envelopes and unfolding sheet after sheet of yellowed stationery, she found herself transported back in time nearly 70 years to her days at Fairfield High School where she was valedictorian of the Class of 1940, and where she started dating Marvin "Bud" McCollum. The letters began as casual hellos from Bud, a U.S. Marine stationed at Cherry Point, N.C. But as the War dragged on, the words became warmer, chronicling both their daily lives and private thoughts, and over time revealing the deep feelings they shared, evolving into the stable appreciation and respect they would enjoy throughout their married lives. A lengthy postscript traces what happened to Bud and Dorothea after they were wed on July 5, 1946, including three children, five grandchildren, one great-grandchild, two hugely successful careers in education, and a rock-solid relationship. Sports enthusiasts may recognize Bud as one of the most renowned high school basketball coaches in Ohio's athletic history, with a state championship in 1962.

"Do you know anyone who experienced two World Wars in Germany and survived to talk about it? You do now! Welcome to Laughter Wasn't Rationed and the historical war memoir of Dorothea von Schwanenflügel Lawson. She will take you from the Weimar Republic to the Berlin Wall, and give you a first-hand account of her life that is full of historical facts - the perspective of an ordinary citizen not found in history books. Vintage photos accompany her journey. As a native German born during World War I, Dorothea takes us from her relatively carefree youth through the much-staged rise and fall of Hitler and his Nazi Party, World War II and the devastating postwar years, up to the beginnings of the Cold War. Through her, you will experience the air raids and intense bombing of Berlin, the ever-present hunger, the Soviet invasion and other day-to-day struggles. You will not only see the grim realities of life, but are treated to many jokes about the Third Reich that were once punishable by imprisonment or by death. You will also enjoy a small dose of German culture along the way, as well as her conversational style. Unfortunately generations die out and the experiences of real people are lost forever. Dorothea's insight is invaluable, and has been recognized by several universities that are using her book and knowledge of Europe in their history courses."--Publisher description.

I was belligerent, aggressive, confrontational, intransigent, with an adversarial attitude, and by no means the sweet little girl of my mother's dreams. Well, who wouldn't be a difficult child, given Dode Sinzheimer's extraordinary background? Parents who talked German; a mother who tried to kill herself; an uncle who did; a father used to comforts who, being an 'enemy alien', couldn't earn a living; a brother with an identity crisis. all that, plus boils and tooth braces and wartime rationing! Dode's transformation from ugly attention-seeking duckling to full-feathered swan spreading her wings is the main theme of this enchanting memoir. Her happy befriendings in Surrey by two Richmond families - the Leinses and the Ropers - teased out of her the powerful imagination that enlivens these recollections, and also gave her a strong urge to find a better, more positive lifestyle. How she finds it, and where, is revealed in these scenes from childhood and adolescence. Here too is the conflict many of us feel when addressing our spiritual side, which the author does first through Christianity and finally - and more happily - through her own blood-borne Jewish faith, becoming, as she puts it, 'part of the ocean'.
