Description

In this sequel to "Who Will Have My Back," discover the stories of nine remarkable American women soldiers wounded while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. Based on hours of personal interviews, "Out of the Shadows: Voices of American Women Soldiers" pieces together the unique lives of these women who served side by side with their male counterparts in war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan.Out of the Shadows honors the legacy and inconceivable sacrifice of each of these women. This tribute is meant to honor all of America's women soldiers, their inarguable bravery and heroism-and to lay bare for all the world to see the heart, courage, and sacrifices of the American Woman Soldier."Punctuated with color photos throughout, Out of the Shadows succeeds in crafting a 'you are here' feel to these military women's experiences, choices, and challenges. The result is a powerful collection that deserves a place not just in military libraries, but in holdings specializing in women's issues and voices. Its ability to capture a variety of fights, both physical and psychic, that these contributors experienced from their military service creates an collection that is riveting and diverse from beginning to end, serving as an eye-opener to many about the roles women play in active duty and the special challenges they face both in country and back at home."-D.
