Love My Rifle More Than You: Young and Female in the U.S. Army

Helpful Score: 3


I found this book both enjoyable and realistic. As a female soldier who has seen the ugly side of the Middle East conflict, I could relate to her story and her feelings through her time in Iraq. I am also a linguist, like the young woman who wrote it, and found that a lot of the experiences she had mirrored my own. That said, it is not a puff piece, it has it's points of pain and suffering, as the life of any soldier does. Also, I recommended this book to my friends and family who were trying to understand the changes in me, and what was going on in the Middle East. All of them loved this book and found it easier to understand the Middle East and my return from it. A must-read for soldiers and civilians alike, and any woman.
