Spot on!
Unfortunately this book wasn't written or published in time for My son's tour of duty in Iraq but I bought it in his last month of tour and found it to be absolutely "spot on"....I really felt as though I had lived every word on those pages.It is the most accurate book I've come across which describes the feelings and the practical points about a tour in such a frightening place.
If you have a loved one out there or who is due to go out there,you really do need this book.It will prove to be invaluable when it comes to practical help and explaining that your feelings of worry and dread are totally understandable and you're not alone in having those feelings...we have all had them.
