For my own sanity, I hope that this book represents a minority of women serving in the military. Benedict writes her book well, but I believe the book's biggest shortcoming is that she does not interview a single commissioned officer. I understand that this book was published last year, but there have been enormous gender strides recently among officers, and I wish Benedict had perhaps interviewed some who were recognized by their male counterparts instead of harassed to get another perspective. Dunwoody earned her fourth star in 2008, and this year, the two cadets at USMA who have earned Rhodes Scholarships are female. I would like to see if there exists a sense of unity between enlisted and officers female soldiers. The one female major whom Benedict mentions is hostile, and I think another difficult subject Benedict discusses well is the racial discrimination that soldiers can experience. ( )

Cuarta película en mi semana de documentales. (Porque con cuarenta grados de calor haciendo imposible salir afuera sin sufrir una combustión espontánea, aparentemente no encontré nada mejor que hacer que ponerme el ventilador en la cara y sufrir con historias trágicas y reales.)

Hoy, The invisible war, inspirada por este libro.

This book describes a situation in which patriotic American soldier have more to fear from their own "comrades" than from the enemy. This is a chilling story. Well written and unforgettable. ( )
