Iraq And Back: Inside the War to Win the Peace (Hardcover)
Customer Reviews
Kim Olson's memoir of ORHA, with the backstory of her own struggles in a man's military world, kept me enthralled by the sheer gumption of selfless men and woman who set out against odds. It is a wonder what Garner and his team, including Col. Olson, might have achieved, if only left alone to employ their experience, intelligence, and capture the moment. It wasn't to be, and Olson's account made this reader shake his head in dismay. I want my daughter to read this book as well. There are many lessons here for young women. My only quibble is with the author's purple prose, which somebody should have counseled Olson against. With her story to tell, she did not need to overwrite.
