The True Story of American Families on the Homefront
by Kristin Henderson
Kristin Henderson is a journalist married to a military chaplain who has served in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, and Iraq. In While They're at War, she draws upon the trust she's earned from military families and her unique access to military staff to give us a "powerful, revealing, and sometimes painful . . . look behind the scenes" (Booklist) at the modern military's untold story.
"Starred Review. This is an emotional book that effectively plies the complexities of military life." - PW.
