What Is Goin’ On?

The debate about women in the military, women in combat, is gone, Gone, GONE! Or is it? About 80 women have died in Iraq and many more have sustained the same debilitating injuries as their male counterparts.

In Band of Sisters Holmstedt has crafted a story about 12 women of war, some injured, some not. Some with children, some in the line of fire. All brave and strong, doing what American women have always done: Whatever needs to be done!

You can even see a video preview of the book which is really excellent.

Kirsten has a degree in Creative Non-fiction writing and this is her first book. It is a worthy effort and regardless of our views on the Iraq War, we need to understand what these women have to say.

Thanks to Kirsten for giving them a voice!
