\n \nBook description:
\nWomen in an armored division! General L eclerc 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 R ochambelles\, their courage won the admiration of their comrades and chang ed many minds. These women learned to drive through mortar fire\, to pull men from burning tanks\, to stanch blood and ease pain. Above all\, they l earned that no matter who was doing the shooting\, the greater enemy was h atred. Only three of the fifty-one women who served in the group published a memoir\, and their stories have been all but lost. This book\, newly re vised and updated\, reveals their daring and accomplishments\, from Norman dy to Berchtesgaden.
