In the Shadow of Suribachi by Joyce Faulkner tells the stories of seven strangers whose lives cross for thirty-six horrific days on the island of Iwo Jima in February & March 1945.  What they experienced together both appalls and intrigues. 

"Faulkner put me right in the middle of the battle of Iwo . All that was missing were the sounds. I was amazed at how she could have described the details of the battle and not have been there herself. She wrote of things that "we" who have fought, still have nightmares over." Edward J. Wilson, TSgt, (Ret) USAF Security Policeman

One Blue Star by Mindy Phillips Lawrence is a small volume of poetry written during the Battle for Iraq in which her son was a soldier.  It's a window into the heart of a mother terrified for her children, in love with her country, at odds with her government and no longer willing to take anything at face value.  Deeply patriotic and moral, this book of verse explores the lunacy and sorrow of war from the point of view of a parent waiting for her boy to come home.
