I like a lot of the other nominees listed above, but have already read many of them. Since is an 100th anniversary relating to WWI a lot of new books are coming out. Looking through the list, I found something that looks interesting:

The Hello Girls: America's First Women Soldiers (not in GR database yet, Amazon says will be released in mid-April)

Here's the first part of the Amazon blurb:
This is the story of how America’s first women soldiers helped win World War I, earned the vote, and fought the U.S. Army. In 1918, the U.S. Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France. They were masters of the latest technology: the telephone switchboard. General John Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces, demanded female “wire experts” when he discovered that inexperienced doughboys were unable to keep him connected with troops under fire. Without communications for even an hour, the army would collapse.

WWI started already in 1914, the centenary was commemorated three years ago. USA only joined it in 1917.
