Editorial Review: Description: Ironically, war is responsible for the development of one of the most effective life-saving tools ever developed. The ambulance owes its existenceto the need to remove injured soldiers from the battlefield and get them to safety. Trace the remarkable story of the ambulance from the battlefields of Napoleon's campaigns to the war zones of today's inner city streets. See how the technology of evacuation has evolved from hand-carts to helicopters, and get an up-close look at the amazing array of life-saving devices carried by a modern EMS crew. The story of the ambulance is also one of legendary heroism by individuals--from Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton--the founder of the Red Cross--to Ernest Hemingway, who drove ambulances as a volunteer in World War I. From the horrors of war to the intense training and rapid response of EMS crews, this is the complete story of the AMBULANCE and the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to save others.
