Title: Soldier's Heart: Reading Literature Through Peace and War at West Point
Author: Elizabeth D. Samet
Rating: 4
An insightful work. Naturally full of references to and quotes from books on war, but not as "war heavy" as I was prepared for. An interesting look into life at West Point, too.
I am attempting to read 100 books this year. I can't promise to wow you with my intellectual selections or spellbinding reviews, but I do welcome you submit book suggestions in the comments section and invite you to set your own book goal.

The Lonely Soldier
Title: The Lonely Soldier: The Private War of Women Serving in Iraq
Author: Helen Benedict
Rating: 4
A very informative book and probably eye-opening to many that don't have a vested interest in the military (Hi to Mom in Iraq and Brother in Japan). I am still confounded by the question posed by the author (and subjects), "Why should they have to be worried about being harmed by their fellow soldiers?"
