Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When Lieutenant Commander Heidi Kraft's twin son and daughter were fifteen months old, she was deployed to Iraq. A clinical psychologist in the US Navy, Kraft's job was to uncover the wounds of war that a surgeon would never see. She put away thoughts of her children back home, acclimated to the sound of incoming rockets, and learned how to listen to the most traumatic stories a war zone has to offer. One of the toughest lessons of her deployment was perfectly articulated by the TV show M*A*S*H: There are two rules of war. Rule number one is that young men die. Rule number two is that doctors can't change rule number one. Some Marines, Kraft realized, and even some of their doctors, would be damaged by war in ways that she couldn't repair. And sometimes, people were repaired in ways she never expected.RULE NUMBER TWO is a powerful firsthand account of providing comfort amidst the chaos of war, and of what it takes to endure.
Synopsis:
This powerful first-hand account relays a military psychologists poignant story of tending to hidden wounds in Iraq--her patients, her colleagues, and finally her own.

Ronald Gould, January 1, 2008 (view all comments by Ronald Gould)
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!
