Book Synopsis
War exposes the divide between who we think we are and how we behave in extreme situations. In this book, the author, who served as a Quaker chaplain with the US Navy, presents an unsettling, and ultimately hopeful personal account of the effects of the Iraq war on soldiers and civilians. It is illustrated with the author's own photographs.

Trade Review
A Quaker Chaplain writing about war? I couldnt imagine it, but I agreed to review the book. What a blessing. The book is beautiful: in design and in content. With eight Marines, Commander Sheri Snively deployed to Iraq to serve in a trauma hospital and morgue between Ramadi and Fallujah. She records the journey in vivid detail. Snively took photographs and kept a journal. She writes of impressions of war as she experienced it. She wrestled with the issue of war. As a Quaker, she believed in peace. Together she and her Marines faced life, death, the carnage of war and the effects of PTSD. Snively shares the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the questions for which there are no answers. - Jim Greenwald, Lead Reviewer, The Military Writers Society of America
