Remarkable." - Phil Klay, author of Redeployment "Ashley's War shares the remarkable stories of one of the first teams of women serving in the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. This team forged the path for American women who serve in harm's way all over the world and continue to make the ultimate sacrifice." - Senator John McCain "Ashley's War shares the remarkable real-life stories of one of the first teams of women serving in the U.S.

Army Special Operations Command alongside men of the 75th Ranger Regiment in Afghanistan. The story's hero, Ashley White, and her all-female team of soldiers proved to be invaluable assets to the special ops forces, honorably accepting a role that had previously been off-limits to them. These women forged the path for American women who currently serve in harm's way all over the world in every branch of our armed forces, and who continue to make the ultimate sacrifice to preserve democracy and secure our freedom." - Senator John McCain "An unforgettable story of female soldiers breaking the brass ceiling. The women who answered America's call to serve show that our military is stronger when it engages both halves of the population. This book will inspire you and remind you of the power that comes with defying limits." - Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In "Ashley's War quietly grips the reader with the untold story of a small group of women selected to serve in combat alongside the US's best soldiers. Rich storytelling.

Compelling. In battle as in life, these women refuse to quit." - Christian Science Monitor "[A] transporting, enlightening book. The Dressmaker of Khair Khana is a fascinating window on Afghan life under the Taliban and a celebration of women the world over who support their loved ones with tenacity, inventiveness and sheer guts." - People "Gayle Tzemach Lemmon expertly gives readers an inside look at what it takes to work alongside America's elite forces. The book is a gripping, moving, and well-told war story, but more importantly it offers the first glimpse into a historic program." - Kevin Maurer, author of Gentlemen Bastards.
