Love My Rifle More Than You

Young, female and in the US Army

Kayla Williams

Frank, brutally honest, and utterly compelling: a female 'Jarhead' for the new century.

*

Reviews

  

From Basic Training to Baghdad, from Mosul to a remote outpost on the Syrian border - this raw memoir gives a vivid picture of Kayla Williams's deployment in Iraq. During her time in the army she witnessed death up close, and horrifying disregard for human life and foreign cultures.
Through it all - the violence, boredem and fear, as well as the light-hearted moments of camaraderie and flirtation - she brings home with vivid intensity the experience of being a woman soldier in the US Army today.

 

'The best insider account of military life since Anthony Swofford gave us Jarhead... you can't help but like Williams. She's sharp, witty direct, confiding and appealingly honest about her failings.'
