James Wise & Scott Baron 
Women at War 
Iraq, Afghanistan, and Other Conflicts

Wise and Baron relate the compelling war experiences of thirty American female soldiers in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, highlighting their extraordinary display of dedication to their mission and to the soldiers and sailors with whom they served. While the book’s focus is on today’s women in combat, it also reaches back to Korea, Vietnam and World War II to offer stories of inspiring women who served at the ‘cusp of the spear’ as they fought and died for their country.
