Click on the link for a complete description.
After immersing herself in military life, author Linda Bird Francke (THE AMBIVALENCE OF ABORTION) provides an account of the gender wars she sees as inevitable given the military's conservative male culture. Her presentation of conflicting viewpoints on the subject is as even-handed as it is complete, making this book highly useful if not finally hopeful.
