While They're at War: The True Story of American… par Kristin Henderson
One of the most touching and heart wrenching books I've read. From one military wife to another, thank you for telling our story.
A book that makes me cry "shame" to the United States for so many reasons. We don't pay these men and woment sufficiently. We don't care about their emotional stress when they return. We don't care adequately for their families while they are deployed. Henderson has written a book that makes me pay attention. Much, much better than her first book: this one is alive. Thanks go to her and to all the women [and male spouses, too] for allowing their stories to be heard.
This book started out as a series of articles. I can see where the content in article form would have been even more powerful than it is as a book. As a book, however, it does a very good job of explaining the emotional and intellectual aspects of the lives of families with people in a war zone. It has been over a year since my husband's return, but this book was still able to reach me and help explain some of what we went through as a family. I will be reccomending this book to others in our situation.… (plus d'informations)
