Gentlemen Volunteers: The Story of the American Ambulance Drivers in the Great War by Arlen J. Hansen
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: The tale of the American volunteer ambulance drivers of the First World War is one of gallantry amid gore, manners amid madness. Until now this stirring example of wartime courage has been recounted only in fragments. Arlen J. Hansen’s Gentlemen Volunteers brings to life the entire story of the men – and women – who formed the first ambulance corps, and who went on to redefine American culture. Some were to become legends – Ernest Hemingway, E. E. Cummings, John Dos Passos, Malcolm Cowley, Walt Disney, Dashiell Hammett – but all were part of a generation seeking something greater and grander than what they could find at home. What the volunteers found in France was carnage on an unprecedented scale. Shrapnel and barbed wire, the machine gun, flamethrower, and poison gas – all then-recent inventions were producing casualties that overwhelmed medical facilities.
