Historia
Fresh out of high school, Kelsi Sheren, a diminutive nineteen-year-old woman, sought to join the military to help liberate those oppressed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. While she was often the smallest person in basic training, she proved she had the biggest heart and often the most energy. She made it to Afghanistan and joined a British military unit for house-to-house insurgent patrol. What she saw there was unimaginable death and destruction.

A good read for female combat veterans
Revisado: 05-26-24
After hearing Kelsi interview by Dr. Peterson, I was intrigued enough to listen to her book. I'm also a female combat vet who served in Afghanistan around the same time she was there. Our experiences were vastly different but similar in the PTS and the continuing quiet suffering that takes over your life after being put into uniquely horrible situations the 21st century human mind isn't conditioned to comprehend.
One review labeled her writing as sophomoric, but I very much appreciated the stilted, unsettling simplicity of the voice of PTS that followed her throughout. That voice isn't sophisticated or eloquent. It's viscous and taunting, and irrational and that knowledge makes it even harder to ignore.
As far as the rest of the book-- we're listening to the narration by a 19-year-old thrust into a situation that can and has killed many because it's unfathomable. She's straightforward and doesn't play with flowery descriptors and I appreciate that as Afghanistan is a concrete desert void of color and safety.
I appreciate her sharing her journey to heal and i encourage other females who have shared combat experiences like this to give it a listen or a read.

Historia
In In Order to Live, Yeonmi Park shines a light not just into the darkest corners of life in North Korea, describing the deprivation and deception she endured and which millions of North Korean people continue to endure to this day, but also onto her own most painful and difficult memories. She tells with bravery and dignity for the first time the story of how she and her mother were betrayed and sold into sexual slavery in China and forced to suffer terrible psychological and physical hardship before they finally made their way to Seoul, South Korea - and to freedom.

This should be required reading for anyone who thinks socialism is more than a nice theory.
