{"product_id":"no-man-s-war-9781619025516","title":"No Man's War","description":"\u003cb\u003eA “blunt, bold debut memoir” of women’s lives on an army base and the intimate hardships of war and deployment on this community (\u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaised as an army brat, Angie Ricketts though she knew what she was in for when she eloped with Darrin – then an Infantry Lieutenant – on the eve of his deployment to Somalia. Since then, Darrin, now a Colonel, has been deployed eight times, serving four of those tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. And Ricketts has lived every one of those deployments intimately – distant enough to survive the years apart from her husband, but close enough to share a common purpose and a lifestyle they both love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith humor, candor, and a brazen attitude, Ricketts pulls back the curtain on a subculture many readers know, but few will ever experience. Counter to the dramatized snapshot seen on Lifetime's \u003ci\u003eArmy Wives\u003c\/i\u003e, Ricketts digs into the personalities and posturing that officers' wives must survive daily – whether navigating a social event at the base, suffering through a husband's prolonged deployment, or reacting to a close friend's death in combat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt its core, \u003ci\u003eNo Man's War\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of sisterhood and survival. As Ricketts states: \"We tread those treacherous waters together. Do we sometimes shove each other's heads underwater for a few seconds? Maybe even on purpose? Of course. Are we sometimes dragged underwater ourselves by the undertow created by all of us struggling together too closely? Without a doubt. But we never let each other drown. Our buoyancy is our survival.\"","brand":"Catapult","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62274488304003,"sku":"9781619025516","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9781619025516.jpg?v=1785531295","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/no-man-s-war-9781619025516","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
