Description: Outside the Wire creates that opportunity for us as readers to bear witness to the men and women who carry the weight of war for us all.
Review Quotes:
Outside the Wire gives voice to soldiers who so often go mute and who so often retreat into isolation and despair, unable or unwilling to attach language to personal experience. The narratives and anecdotes collected in this wonderful volume are as varied and as unpredictable and as idiosyncratic as humanity itself. In this collection the reader will encounter anger, grief, laughter, loneliness, joy, terror, bitterness, redemption, hope, and cynicism. I was spellbound.
--Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried and Going After Cacciato
