Reading Afghanistan: Taking The Initial Tourist Approach

Library, Greenwich Village, 2009
"When I knew my husband was going downrange, I circled around the library a few times, trying to figure out what to read. Since I knew nothing about war, the military or Afghanistan, I decided to first find out about the country. So I decided to start off like a tourist being told she's leaving soon."

  1. I've almost finished Frank Gardner's 'Blood and Sand' and when I've finished will be glad to read something other than more about terorists and bloodshed.

  2. The only way I could balance this kind of reading was to dive into Jane Austen! Also, romantic comedies were a wonderful escape as well.
