review 1: I did not know before reading this biographical story of this soldier's hostage experience that she was the first African-american female soldier POW. It is an interesting read, not only for the POW experience, but also for her account of her life before and after, her decision to become a soldier, her experiences in boot camp, being shipped overseas, and dealing with the lingering affects of her combat injuries, both physical and mental. The story is well-written and captivating. Her experience is certainly relevant to the problems experienced overseas and at home by our troops who have fought more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan.
review 2: Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down and read it in one evening. Although the book could have benefite... mored from some editing, Shoshana's story is compelling and worth reading. Perhaps I'm a bit biased as a female vet, but most of what she wrote really rang true to me. I'm glad that after all of these years, she finally decided to tell her story as a POW, as well as her life after she returned. less
