This spin-off from The Small Theater of Operations honors the lives of exceptional women from both world wars who have since been unjustly forgotten.

Did you know that in 1914, the Serbian army counted "Milun" among its ranks, a local Mulan who spread terror with grenades?

With this special volume of The Small Theater of Operations, the authors turn the spotlight on the lives of forgotten women who, when history came knocking, all gave the same answer: Ready as Ever!
