A vivid portrait of a young woman who fled the familiar and fell into a situation beyond her control." - Daily News. "Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Rick Bragg lends his remarkable narrative skills to the story of one of the most famous P.O.W.s this country has known. In I Am a Soldier, Too, Bragg lets Jessica Lynch tell the story of her capture in the Iraq war in her own words - not the sensationalized ones of the media's initial reports. Here we see how a humble rural upbringing leads to a stint in the military, one of the most exciting job options for a young person in Palestine, West Virginia. We see the real story behind the ambush in the Iraqi desert that led to Lynch's capture. And we gain new perspective on her rescur from an Iraqi hospital where she had been receiving care. Here Lynch's true heroism and above all, modesty, is allowed to emerge, as we're shown how she managed her physical recovery from her debilitating wounds and contended with the misinformation - both deliberate and unintended - surrounding her highly publicized rescue. In the end, what we see is a uniquely American story of courage." - from the rear outer cover. "Deftly, respectfully and movingly, Bragg has written Lynch's story with extraordinary power . Brave, convincing and wonderfully sweet." - The Baltimore Sun. "Bragg brilliantly paints a portrait . Lynch's voice is heard, and through her eyes, we learn the importance of what it means to be an American." - The Oklahoman.
