Until now, military historians have been sceptical about accounts of her life, dismissing them as, at best, vastly exaggerated and, at worst, largely fictional. However, a new book by Australian author Matthew Stephens details the tragic but ultimately exhilarating tale of Snell's life in the British Army and the Royal Marines. -- The Daily Mail - 15/12/97
