Fascinating WW1 facts in this book "An Unladylike Profession: American Women War Correspondents in World War 1" by Chris Dubbs

One of the most amazing things I learnt from Chris Dubbs fascinating book "An Unladylike Profession: American Women War Correspondents in World War 1" (Potomac Books, Nebraska, 2020) concerns the Italian electrical engineer Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi FRSA (1874 – 1937).

Marconi pioneered research into long-distance radio but that nearly didn’t take place.   Find out what happened to him during WW1 on pages 168 – 171.
