From the Foreword:
Some of the female soldiers in this book are refreshingly honest about the grueling conditions and moral disgust they experienced at war, especially in Iraq. Others tell of the courage and sacrifices made by their fellow soldiers, and of their pride in their service. [...] Some write heartbreakingly about the abuse they endured from their supposed comrades. But whatever their tales, and whatever their perspectives, their voices are fresh and important. These women have seen and done things few people ever see or do. They have much to tell us about morality, courage, fear, betrayal -- and, of course, war.
