As an American watching what’s been going on in Ukraine and the regions of former USRR Soviet states, this book is eye opening. J.T. Has as special way of writing which draws you into the reality of her experiences. The reflections on her time and a US Army Officer in Afghanistan and Iraq with the juxtaposition of choosing to go to the front lines of a war that is not hers but for her determination to bear witness to it is jaw dropping. This is a book which captures the reality in real time. This is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the conflict and to learn about a group of people who chose to fight for their country, culture and their people. They came from everywhere to stand against the Oppressor. No orders. No packing list. No requirement to do it. No reason but their drive to fight for what is right.
