The author, Doris Lessing, was born in Persia in 1919. Her family moved to Rhodesia when she was a child, and she grew up in the country during the 1930s and 1940s. When World War II broke out, Lessing was a young woman in her early twenties. She volunteered for the British war effort and served as a nurse in Rhodesia and South Africa.

In The War Years, Lessing recounts her experiences during the war. She writes about the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated world, the horrors she witnessed on the battlefield, and the friendships she made with other women who were also serving their country.

The War Years is a powerful and moving memoir that offers a unique perspective on one of the most important events in human history. Lessing's writing is clear, concise, and evocative, and she brings the war to life in a way that is both intimate and universal.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, war, or the human experience. Lessing's memoir is a powerful and moving account of one woman's journey through the war, and it will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
