Editorial Review | With the U.S. military yet again stepping into new roles around the globe, Red, White, & True is a timely collection.--Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times-- (09/24/2014) "If you are or have been a member of the military, read this book. If you love or have loved someone in the military, read this book. If you don't know anyone in the military, read this book. It's a revelation."--Pinckney Benedict, author of Miracle Boy and Other Stories and Town Smokes-- (11/04/2013) "I have not read a more awe-inspiring collection of ground truth of the human experience than the stories I found in Red, White, and True. Deeply moving, compelling, and at times emotionally wrenching to the point of tears, Red, White, and True is an unforgettable and thoroughly rewarding reading experience."--Dwight Jon Zimmerman, New York Times best-selling coauthor of Lincoln's Last Days and coauthor of Uncommon Valor-- (11/04/2013) "I know of nothing else like this: thirty-two writers--veterans, military spouses, and now grown children of veterans--all sharing how their lives have been affected by military service."--David Abrams, The Quivering Pen--David Abrams"The Quivering Pen" (08/02/2014) |
