* Lyudmila Pavlichenko visits America 
* Soviet female sniper in the Red Army
* Amazing 309 confirmed kills of Nazis  

The bottom of the front page has a three column heading: "A Russian Woman Sniper Speaks" (see images) 
Complete with 26 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.

Background: The late August 1942 American tour of Soviet Lieutenant Lyudmila Pavlichenko, as captured in The Springfield Union, marks a profound geopolitical and cultural milestone in World War II diplomacy. Facing a brutal Nazi invasion, the Soviet Union dispatched Pavlichenko—the Red Army's most lethal female sniper—to the United States on a high-stakes public relations mission to lobby the Roosevelt administration and a hesitant American public for the immediate opening of a "Second Front" in Western Europe. Her visit was highly unprecedented; she became the first Soviet citizen officially received by a U.S. President at the White House and forged a powerful, lifelong alliance with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who subsequently accompanied her on a national speaking tour. Beyond the immediate strategic military objectives, Pavlichenko’s presence fundamentally challenged Western societal norms and gender roles. At a time when American women were strictly relegated to domestic support roles or home-front factory labor, Pavlichenko stood before the American press as a decorated frontline combat veteran with 309 confirmed kills, forcing a fascinated yet highly conservative U.S. media to confront the reality of total female equality in combat and cementing her legacy as a transnational icon of wartime resistance.
