The idea was that women could access places and people that had remained out of reach, and could build relationships-- woman to woman-- in ways that male soldiers in a conservative, Islamic country could not. Lemmon reveals how these pioneers earned professional acceptance from grizzled Special Operations warriors and illuminates the very human stakes of their battlefield successes. Transporting readers into the little-known world of the CSTs, a community of fierce women bound together by valor, danger, and the desire to serve, this is a gripping combat narrative and a testament to the unbreakable bond of friendship and love born of war. 520 Presents the story of First Lieutenant Ashley White and a groundbreaking team of female American warriors who served alongside Special Operations soldiers on the battle field in Afghanistan. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 600 10 White, Ashley. 600 10 White, Ashley,|d1987-2011. 600 17 White, Ashley,|d1987-2011.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01947417 610 10 United States.|bArmy|xWomen|vBiography. 610 17 United States.|bArmy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00533532 611 27 Afghan War (2001-)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01695175 650 0 Afghan War, 2001-|xWomen|zUnited States. 650 0 Women soldiers|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Special operations (Military science)|zAfghanistan. 650 7 Armed Forces|xWomen.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00814634 650 7 Special operations (Military science)|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01128975 650 7 Women.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 Women soldiers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178559 651 7 Afghanistan.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01205406 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 776 08 |iElectronic reproduction of (manifestation):|aTzemach Lemmon, Gayle.|tAshley's war|dNew York, N.Y. : Harper, 2015|z9780062333810|w(NjBwBT)bl2015009741 |w(OCoLC)889165968 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0015537552|zFound on Boundless
