Helpful Score: 3

This was a hard one to read emotionally, but harder to put down. Throughout the book, Doc Kraft describes the journey that she and fellow military members made during a 7 month deployment in Iraq. I say hard to read because the stories she tells are of the true-life medical emergencies where lives are lost and saved in a matter of moment. These stories portray the psychological and often deadly "shock and awe" of war, and the background stories on many deaths we hear about on the news. The book is broken up into many small chapters (3-4 pages each) making it a very fast read.
