This book is a treasure for all ages! The author's style of writing is clear and easy to understand. I hope this book garners the audience it deserves.

While Lilia Litvyak's story took 66 years to tell, her courage, her skills and love of country are terribly relevant today. This book is also a moving tribute to the 30 million brave Russian civilians and soldiers who died during The Great Patriotic War.

What we need in Russia today are ordinary hero's people can be proud of. Lilia is such a person. What a wonderful book. I pray Call Sign, White Lily will find its way to my fellow countryman in their native language.

Call Sign is an unbelievable story about an unbelievably beautiful and courageous woman. An inspiration for every woman who wishes to achieve her dream.

As a Marine naval aviator who served during the Vietnam era, I particularly admired Lilia’s unswerving dedication to duty by becoming a Russian combat... Learn More

I met M.G. Crisci at a friend's daughter’s wedding. We sat and talked and I found him most interesting. During the conversation we talked about my love of books, especially historical. He mentioned that he had written an unusual book. M.G. was so engaging I thought why not give it a read.... Learn More

As a retired Professor of Russian Language and Literature, I regret that this fascinating book was not available when I taught Soviet Literature. The 1920s had many great writers, but Zhdanov destroyed Russian literature in 1932 with his Socialist Realism. This great book about Lilia gives insights to life in Russia after... Learn More

On one level, Mary Jackson Peale is an entertaining, breathtaking read from cover to cover set against the backdrop of the theatrical industry. One another level is a complicated story about a creatively gifted, deeply insecure young lady who creates havoc on three continents.
