Love My Rifle More than You: Young and Female in the U.S. Army

â€œBrave, honest, and necessary.â€â€•Nancy Pearl, NPR Seattle
Kayla Williams is one of the 15 percent of the U.S. Army that is female, and she is a great storyteller. With a voice that is â€œfunny, frank and full of gritty detailsâ€ (New York Daily News), she tells of enlisting under Clinton; of learning Arabic; of the sense of duty that fractured her relationships; of being surrounded by bravery and bigotry, sexism and fear; of seeing 9/11 on Al-Jazeera; and of knowing she would be going to war.

With a passion that makes her memoir â€œnearly impossible to put downâ€ (Buffalo News) Williams shares the powerful gamut of her experiences in Iraq, from caring for a wounded civilian to aiming a rifle at a child. Angry at the bureaucracy and the conflicting messages of todayâ€™s military, Williams offers us â€œa raw, unadulterated look at warâ€ (San Antonio Express News) and at the U.S. Army. And she gives us a womanâ€™s story of empowerment and self-discovery.
