DRESSED TO KILL
Book ID/图书代码： 06580010B36024
English Summary/英文概要： Captain Charlotte Madison is blonde, beautiful and flies Apache helicopters for a living. She has completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan and is currently fighting on the frontline in her third. DRESSED TO KILL shows us what life is like for a girl in a resolutely male-dominated environment. But she isn’t just a woman in a man’s world, she’s a woman women aspire to be - glamorous as well as brave, and beating the men at their own game. Only a tiny percentage of people can multi-task to the extreme level the aircraft demands, and most airmen who try to qualify as an Apache pilot fail.
Full of the exciting, adrenaline-filled action that has made other military memoirs so successful, DRESSED TO KILL is also unique. A highly intelligent and brilliant young woman, Charlotte is Britain’s first female Apache pilot, and the first British female pilot to kill in an Apache. We have, quite simply, never seen the landscape of 21st-century frontline conflict from a perspective like hers before. DRESSED TO KILL will appeal to anyone interested in current affairs, but it will also speak to a whole generation of young women who will relate to 27-year-old Charlotte in a way they never imagined possible.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 她27歲，金髮、漂亮、聰明
但這些特質都比不上這個─「膽識」…
種種條件讓她成為英國史上第一位駕駛這世界上攻擊能力最強的直升機─”阿帕契”的女性駕駛員
**阿帕契直升機：素有戰車殺手的稱號，是目前世界上攻擊能力最強的直升機。1991年第一次波灣戰爭的時候，美軍出動阿帕契攻擊直升機，創下擊毀了1100輛裝甲車的記錄並保持至今。
「我的手指緊靠發射鈕，在發射之前，我猶豫了一下下，因為想到待會往地面全面掃射的子彈…今天任務過後，我不再是那個新來的女生！」
從外觀上來看，夏綠蒂是一名二十多歲的金髮美女，但她的真實身分卻是駕駛世界上攻擊能力最強的直升機─阿帕契〈Apache〉的曼德森上尉。
駕駛阿帕契向來是許多男性駕駛員的「夢想」，但現實生活中只有很少數的駕駛員才能通過考驗，雀屏中選！
曼德森不僅通過層層考驗，她還是個女生！〈簡單說這是一份腦力與體力要兼具的工作啦~〉
但她想講的，可不只是一個女生在男性主導的競爭環境中，是如何地「與眾不同」、待遇有多特別、生活有多「芬芳」等等之類的故事…
夏綠蒂有其他女生想要「漂亮璀璨」的渴望；但她與一般女生與眾不同之處，在她同時也兼具媲美甚至超越男人的「膽識」！
本書讀來不僅男生會肅然起敬，欽佩不已；夏綠蒂在服役過程之中展現的女性智慧與勇氣，更會激發年輕女生對自己人生擁有更多熱情、動力與想像力的可能性。
最重要的是，夏綠蒂的故事與敘事手法打從一翻頁，就會讓看者入迷，不可自拔地讀到the end。(KC)
