Synopsis
In this memoir, Kayla Williams tells what it is like to be in the Army in wartime. In the five years during which she served, Williams rose to the rank of sergeant, was assigned to a military intelligence company, and was deployed to Iraq with the 101st Airborne, where her skills in Arabic were called upon. In LOVE MY RIFLE MORE THAN YOU she tells of her experiences as a female soldier, including the drudgery of everyday life as well as the intense situations and firefights that often resulted in death. Through it all, she keeps her own voice and critical perspective, whether she is relating how she viewed Iraqi civilians or what she witnessed in interrogation rooms.

Publisher's Note
An unstinting account of the experiences of women soldiers in today's army relates the author's decision to enlist, her relationship with a Palestinian boyfriend, her witness to the events of September 11 as portrayed on Arabic television, and her deployment to Iraq.

Industry reviews
"Williams's particular strength is in putting an observant distaff spin on the bantering and brutality of barracks life, where kids from the "Survivor" generation must come to terms with a grim and confusing reality over which they have little control."
Publishers Weekly  (05/23/2005)

"Whip smart, sassy, with a mouth as foul as a sailor's, 28-year-old Sergeant Kayla Williams...tells what it's like to be a female soldier in Iraq."
Booklist - Alan Moores (08/05/2005)

"A sobering look at the military's screwy sexual politics as well as an empathetic tale of blood, sweat, and the occasional well-earned tears."
Entertainment Weekly - Brian M. Raftery (10/14/2005)

"[A] tale of almost embarrassing honesty and vividness."
Times Literary Supplement - Robert Fox (12/16/2006)
