Insights, Interviews, & More..." 500 "As the first and only all-Black battalion of the Women's Army Corps, the legendary Six Triple Eight, these brave women risked their lives to serve with honor against incredible odds" -- From inside cover. 504 Includes bibliographical references. 520 "Grace Steele and Eliza Jones may be from completely different backgrounds, but when it comes to the army, specifically the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), they are both starting from the same level. Not only will they be among the first class of female officers the army has even seen, they are also the first Black women allowed to serve. As these courageous women help to form the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, they are dealing with more than just army bureaucracy--everyone is determined to see this experiment fail. For two northern women, learning to navigate their way through the segregated army may be tougher than boot camp. Grace and Eliza know that there is no room for error; they must be more perfect than everyone else. When they finally make it overseas, to England and then France, Grace and Eliza will at last be able to do their parts for the country they love, whatever the risk to themselves. 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 U.S. battalion to be deployed overseas during World War II." -- |cFrom publisher's description. 610 10 United States. |bArmy. |bWomen's Army Corps. |bCentral Postal Battalion, 6888th |vFiction. |=^A1442875 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xParticipation, African American |vFiction. |=^A209343 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xParticipation, Female |vFiction. |=^A153468 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vFiction. |=^A517579 650 0 African American soldiers |xHistory |y20th century |vFiction. |=^A120644 610 17 United States. |bArmy. |bWomen's Army Corps. |bCentral Postal Battalion, 6888th. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01596096 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 7 African American soldiers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799366 650 7 Military participation |xAfrican American. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353696 650 7 Military participation |xFemale. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353719 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1900-1999 |2fast 655 7 Fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Historical fiction. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Historical fiction. |2gsafd 655 7 Historical fiction. |2lcgft 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n16939468 938 Brodart |bBROD |n127614478 949 F AL236S |wDEWEY |hJOYNER132 |ojcas 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5814119
