She Went to War: The Rhonda Cornum Story

1992, Rhonda Cornum

4.7/5

This book is very different from what I usually read since my preferred genre consists of mysteries and thrillers with an occasional novel thrown in to the mix. My older sister was in the Air Force for 29 years and had this book in her collection. This book made me appreciate more the sacrifices that all of our troops make to keep America safe. The author, Rhonda Cornum, is a surgeon (soldier and pilot) in the U.S. Army and ends up being captured and taken as a POW while serving in Iraq. I enjoyed reading about the female perspective of the challenges that were faced in the Persian Gulf. Her descriptions, especially while being held as a prisoner, were realistic and sometimes hard to read. I especially enjoyed learning about her views on women serving in the military since my own sister had chosen to spend her professional career with the U.S. Air Force. To Ret. Brigadier General Rhonda Cornum, Thank you for your service!
