Content:
This riveting memoir is the first book written by a female Marine about the war in Iraq, and one of the only books written by a woman who has experienced combat first hand. Throughout her deployment, Jane kept a journal of her and her fellow lieutenants' combat experiences, which she drew on to convey the immediacy of life in the military, not just for a woman but for all Marines
