Book Reviews of Under the Sabers: The Unwritten Code of Army Wives
Book Review: Do you watch the TV show?
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked the book and it was a quick read for me. I could relate to the book since I lived in the Ft Bragg area for several years. I have not watched Army Wives, the TV show on Lifetime. It seems that people who watch the show on TV did not like the book. I think this has something to do with the characters and events on the TV show being somewhat misaligned with the book.
Summary of Under the Sabers: The Unwritten Code of Army Wives
Four Fort Bragg Army wives face hardship, tragedy, betrayal, and their own demons as they try to fulfill the antiquated role the Army expects them to. This is a true story about what happened when real life collided with Army-traditions. Each woman faced a life-altering event that forced her to find an inner compass and forge her own path. Not all succeeded.Under the Sabers explores:? What it is like for wives behind the gates to live in a place that is in a constant state of readiness for war.? How life+s little tasks-rolling out of bed to walk the dog or going grocery shopping at the post commissary-can affect one+s husband+s career; appearance and performance mean everything, and perception is reality.? The fact that class is everything. Army pecking order extends to Army families, too. Officer and enlisted wives swim in separate pools, belong to different organizations, live in different neighborhoods, and eat at separate clubs -all by design. ? The common fear of all military wives, regardless of their husbands+ ranks: life as a widow. Under the Sabers takes readers into the world of a wife+s worst pain.Couples & Family Therapy Books
