A gripping and thrilling novel of the courageous Black women who
made history in World War Two. Inspired by true events, and perfect
for fans of Kate Quinn's The Alice Network and Hidden Figures.
'Poignant and powerful; an untold story that you simply must read'
NATASHA LESTER Based on the true story of the 6888th Postal
Battalion (the Six Triple Eight), Sisters in Arms explores the
untold story of what life was like for the only all-Black, female
US battalion to be deployed overseas during World War Two.
..........................................................................................
They were fighting for freedom everywhere. But the first battle
they had to win was at home. Grace Steele and Eliza Jones make
history when they join the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps, and form
the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. Not only are they
among the first class of female officers the army has ever seen,
they are also the first Black women allowed to serve. Everyone is
determined to see this experiment fail and learning to navigate
their way through the segregated army is tougher than boot camp.
Grace and Eliza may be from completely different backgrounds but
they both recognise that to succeed they must be more perfect than
everyone else: there is no room for error. They know that what lies
overseas in England and France could cause them great personal
cost, but nothing is going to stop these courageous women from
playing their parts for the country they love.
