Hakkımda:

..Myspace Layout Generator-Layoutgen.com
.. As many of you know, last year my first book was published--Band of Sisters: American Women at War in Iraq. Now I am embarking on my second book, tentatively titled, When the Girls Come Marching Home. This book will be about women in combat AND how the handle the transition when they return home--with wounds, PTSD, and more. Can they leave the battlefield behind? How do they cope? How do they overcome the nightmares, stress, trauma, migrains, and all the other side effects associated with war? Can they overcome? How are their challenges different from what men have experienced when they've returned from war? 2007 was an exciting year with the publication of "Band of Sisters." I started writing the book because I wanted to take the debate about women in combat off Capitol Hill and onto the battlefield but the book has become so much more to me than that. Band of Sisters is important because it is the first of its kind to explore how women have handled their roles not in the rear echelons of war but in actual combat. Through a series of 11 intimate profiles, the reader will see many firsts—the first female back seater in an F-18 in combat, first female Kiowa helicopter pilot to be shot down and survived, first African-American female pilot (Cobra) in combat in DoD history, and first female commander of a combat squadron in the Air Force. On the ground, female mechanics get into a firefight, a medic saves lives until she is the one seriously wounded, a nurse explores the emotional side of war, a truck driver is wounded when a van loaded with bombs goes off beside her, and more. As one female service member said, “We love our country as much as any man and we have made the same sacrifices as our brothers in arms.” “Band of Sisters” reveals those sacrifices for the first time. I began working on this book shortly after the war started and I feel honored to be able to tell the stories of our female service members in combat. Please remember to thank them for their service when they return home. "Band Of Sisters" American Women at War in Iraq
