- Description
- When U.S.-led forces invaded Iraq in March 2003, soldiers weren't the only ones who put their lives on the line: so did 600 journalists, including Katherine M. Skiba. Her riveting memoir provides an account of her experiences. .Skiba, a reporter and photographer, was the sole female civilian among the 2,300 soldiers of the 159th Aviation Brigade, whose pilots flew Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters into the thick of battle. Her dispatches were a vital lifeline between the troops and their families and earned her a grateful national audience. Reporting on the men and women in uniform with journalistic dedication, natural compassion, and an eye for the absurd, she chronicles her experiences from 'media boot camp' to the kick-off of Operation Iraqi Freedom to the fall of Baghdad, including a missile attack on the brigade's desert camp.
