Escoto, Chantal2005
Book
Make it stop!' Chantal Escoto screamed as the booms and fiery flashes of an ordinary 4th of July fireworks display brought her to tears. Recently returned from a stint as an embedded reporter in Iraq, Escoto couldn't seem to escape the harsh landscape of war. As a journalist accompanying the 101st Airborne Division infantry battalion, she saw firsthand the nightmare of fierce battles and bloody beatings, the cold reality of war in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. But she also witnessed the strong camaraderie the soldiers shared, their emotional tears, their heartfelt longing for home. War Mom is the eye-opening, heart-pounding documentary of her unforgettable experiences. Her empathetic approach provides new insight into why boys take up guns and kill each other. This raw, no-holds-barred book will transport you from the battlefield to the barracks, enhancing your understanding along the way.
