“This compendium of women’s bravery and accomplishments is a compelling read of firsthand accounts in U.S. military conflicts. No American woman should raise her right hand and swear to ‘support and defend’ without these haunting voices urging her to walk the trail where few have gone. Every American history syllabus should include this book as a requirement. A true inspiration!”

—Maj. Gen. Dee Ann Mcwilliams, U.S. Army (Ret.), president of Women in Military Service for America

“Jerri Bell and Tracy Crow have done a great literary service with this book—for too long, the courage and gallantry of American women on the battlefield has gone unnoticed. This is vital, superb reading.”

—Matt Gallagher, author of Youngblood

“This meticulously researched book . . . allows women to speak for themselves about their experiences in American military service. It echoes with voices of many thousands of their sisters in arms.”

—Margaret Vining, curator of Armed Forces History for the National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
