The Foxhole Victory Tour
The Foxhole Victory Tour | Amy Lynn Green
2 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
In World War II, worlds collide when performers across the United States unite to tour North Africa in a USO variety show.
Vibrant and scrappy Maggie McCleod tried not to get fired from her wartime orchestra, but she can't keep from speaking her mind, so an overseas adventure with the USO's camp show seems like the perfect fresh start. Wealthy and elegant Catherine Duquette signs with the USO to leave behind her restrictive life of privilege and to find out what happened to the handsome pilot whose letters mysteriously stopped arriving.
The two women are joined by an eclectic group of performers--a scheming blues singer, a veteran tap dancer, and a brooding magician--but the harmony among their troupe is shattered when their tour manager announces he will soon recommend one of them for a new job in the Hollywood spotlight. Each of the five members has a reason to want the contract, and they'll do whatever is necessary to get it. As their troupe travels closer to combat in Tunisia, personal crises and wartime dangers only intensify, until not only their careers but also their lives are on the line.

I appreciate historical fiction books that teach me something new or offer a different perspective and this book delivered! I didn‘t know much about the North Africa Campaign of WWII or the USO variety shows, but now I know a bit more (and I want to know even more now!) 😊 Definitely recommended for WWII historical fiction readers as well as any readers who enjoy books about the theater and performing with a WWII angle.
