This is a facinating first person account of serving in the Iraq War. This book should be a mandatory read by any person even thinking about running for President of the United States in 2008. Imbedded within the book is a first person account of holding the hand, while in medical treatment, of the first Medal of Honor recipient of the Iraq War. More power to the medical doctor author for writing such an honest assessment of her perceptions of the war for which few sacrifices have been made. Thank you Madam Marine!
Outstanding "sequel" to Plainsong. The main characters return and grow even better with the passage of time. The new characters each play a role and you learn to love them or hate them. I just hope there is a sequel to Eventide so that Victoria Roubideaux and Raymond McPheron can continue to keep people happy.
