General Leclerc had never heard of such a thing. But if he wanted the 19 brand-new ambulances, he would have to take their women drivers too. Known as the Rochambelles, their work broke through gender barriers and their courage won the admiration of their comrades and changed many minds about the role women could play in the military. These women learned to drive through mortar fire, to pull men from burning tanks, to stanch blood and ease pain, but above all, they learned that no matter who was doing the shooting, the greater enemy was hatred. Despite their achievements, only three of the fifty-one women who eventually served in the group published a memoir, and their stories have been all but lost. This book resurrects those stories, which recount the nature of courage and the definition of fear, from Normandy to Berchtesgaden"-- |cProvided by publisher. 610 10 France combattante. |bArm̐uee. |bRochambeau Group |xHistory. |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xParticipation, Female. |=^A153468 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xRegimental histories |zFrance. |=^A196425 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xMedical care |zEurope, Western. |=^A20026 610 20 France combattante. |bArm̐uee |xMedical personnel |vBiography. |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Ambulance drivers |zUnited States |vBiography. |=^A670342 650 0 Ambulance drivers |zFrance |vBiography. |=^A670342 610 20 France combattante. |bArm̐uee |xTransport of sick and wounded. |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 7 HISTORY / Military / World War II. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Women. |2bisacsh 610 27 France combattante. |bArm̐uee. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00537350 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 7 Ambulance drivers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00806782 650 7 Armed Forces |xMedical personnel. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01351807 650 7 Armed Forces |xTransport of sick and wounded. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01982024 650 7 Medical care. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01013753 650 7 Military participation |xFemale. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353719 650 7 Regimental histories. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01354209 651 7 France. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204289 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Western Europe. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01272478 |?UNAUTHORIZED 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s29.95 |uJWST |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 5628126
