Informative but I prefer my non-fiction more narrative style.

This nonfiction book about women working in propoganda during WWII focuses on the work of 4 remarkable women, including a journalist, an immigrant, and famous German actress Marlene Dietrich. They did remarkable work at home and overseas, often going up against sexism within their own ranks, to help bring an end to the war. A fascinating read.
I read a lot of WWII nonfiction history and historical fiction books. I had never heard about the Propaganda Girls that worked in the Marole Operations (MO) branch of the OSS. Propaganda Girls tells of four women who worked in the MO office.
Rogak, you can tell when you read it, a thoroughly researched book. These 4 ladies were a major part of WWII. They helped with false information to enemy soldiers trying to get them to surrender. ⬇️
4/5
This was an incredibly interesting look into the lives of four women who worked for the OSS creating propaganda to demoralize Axis soldiers during World War II. I thought the book did a wonderful job weaving together the paths that brought all four to the OSS, their experiences in the OSS, and the work they did on both fronts. It was a very quick and interesting look into an aspect of World War II that I know very little about.
