In 2000, Kayla Williams was twenty-three, jobless, single and tempted by the idea of enlisting in the US Army in order to take stock of her life and start again. For five years - including her deployment to Iraq-she was on of the women who make up 15% of the US Military, and she had to navigate both extreme physical danger and emotional minefields. From Basic Training to Baghad, from Mosul to the remote mountainous outpost on the Syrian border, this raw and honest memoir exorcises the demons of Williams's deployment, during which she witnessed death up close, soldiers crossing the line in the handling of prisoners and widespread disregard for human life and foreign cultures. By turns irreverent, violence, angry and humane, Williams describes what it is like for a young women to be surrounded by an ocean of testosterone, respected for her skills and qualifications, but treated variously as a soldier, a sister, a mother, a bitch and a slut.
