The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq

This was a very good and honest account of women in Iraq. However, being a female veteran, it is disheartening to see all of the negative accounts of female soldiers in every piece of literature I've read. Granted, I had bad experiences as well and no doubt there is plenty of prejudice, sexual harrassment and worse. But there were good times and good things too. That said, I still recommend reading this. But keep in mind that not all experiences are horrific.
