{"product_id":"book-coma","title":"Lady Death","description":"In June 1941, when Hitler launched Operation Barbarossa, Lyudmila Pavlichenko left her university studies and ignored the offer of a position as a nurse to become one of Soviet Russia's 2000 female snipers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Less than a year later she had 309 recorded kills, including twenty-nine enemy sniper kills. She was withdrawn from active duty after being injured. She was also regarded as a key heroic figure for the war effort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She spoke at rallies in Canada and the U.S., and the folk singer Woody Guthrie wrote a song, \"Killed By A Gun,\" about her exploits. Her U.S. trip included a tour of the White House with FDR. In November 1942 she visited Coventry and accepted donations of £4,516 from Coventry workers to pay for three X-ray units for the Red Army. She also visited a Birmingham factory as part of her fundraising tour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She never returned to combat but trained other snipers. After the war, she finished her education at Kiev University and began a career as a historian. She died on October 10, 1974 at age fifty-eight, and was buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49381328355632,"sku":"BDcoma","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49381328388400,"sku":"ZEcoma","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49381328421168,"sku":"ZMcoma","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49381328453936,"sku":"40coma","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/83114-coma-Square.jpg?v=1735013480","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-coma","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
