NAŠ BRAT – Luiz Miler
A Fine Brother : The Life of Captain Flora Sandes
Biografija žene koju su srpski vojnici zvali „Nas Brat“.
Život kapetana Flore Sends.
Engleskinja Flora Sends, jedina žena iz zapadne Evrope koja je učestvovala kao vojnik u Prvom svetskom ratu, postala je heroina i medijska senzacija zbog svoje borbe u srpskoj vojsci i istaknute vojne karijere. Ova knjiga govori o njenom neverovatnom životu, o detinjstvu muškobanjaste devojčice u blagoj viktorijanskoj Engleskoj, o njenom odlasku u Srbiju kao dobrovoljca Crvenog krsta i kasnijem stupanju u vojsku, o turnejama i predavanjima koje je držala kad se proslavila, o braku s kolegom oficirom, o boravku u gestapovskom zatvoru tokom Drugog svetskog rata i o njenim poslednjim godinama u Safoku.
Flora Sends, opčinjujuća ličnost svog doba i nadahnuće ženama širom sveta, oživljava i zauzima svoje pravo istorijsko mesto u ovoj knjizi nastaloj uz pomoć njene porodice i na osnovu do sada neobjavljivanih privatih dokumenata i fotografija.
The only woman to serve as a soldier in the First World War, the Englishwoman Flora Sandes became a hero and media sensation when she fought for the Serbian Army and pursued a distinguished career in its ranks as officer. This account charts her incredible story, from her tomboyish childhood in genteel Victorian England, her mission to Serbia as a Red Cross volunteer and subsequent military enrolment, her celebrity lecture tours of Europe, her marriage to a fellow officer and her survival of a Gestapo prison during the Second World War to her final years in Suffolk. A fascinating character of her times and an inspiration to women the world over, Flora Sandes is brought to life and restored to her rightful place in history by this authorized biography – compiled with the help of her family, and using hitherto unused private papers and photographs.
