"Kirkus Reviews"
UNDAUNTED contains fascinating multiple portraits of the real-life
experiences of women in the military, from young enlisted women to
a seasoned and celebrated general. Tanya Biank explores these lives
with inside knowledge, compassion and wit.
Amy Dickinson, "Ask Amy "columnist and author of "The Mighty Queens
of Freeville"
To many traditional men, especially those who have known the rigors
of military service, the question often is, why would women want to
take on this challenging life? By the end of Tanya Biank s fine
book, UNDAUNTED, the answer is clear: because they want to do it,
and they can do it. Joseph E. Persico, author of "Roosevelt s
Centurions"
UNDAUNTED expertly captures the struggle women face in the rapidly
changing 21st century military. If you have ever wondered what it
takes for women service members to be all they can be, you must
read this book.
Siobhan Fallon, author "You Know When the Men Are Gone"
Whether withering under a Marine Drill Instructor s blasting,
jumping out of a C-17 with Army Airborne, planning operations along
the Afghanistan border, or negotiating the political minefields of
being a one-star general, Biank makes the reader feel you are there
with four extraordinary, yet very human women who have chosen the
profession of arms.
Jeff Melvoin, Executive Producer of "Army Wives"
UNDAUNTED is truly riveting. The stories remind us that while our
service members gracefully bear the burden of protecting our
liberties, they sometimes do so at great personal cost.
Sue Hoppin, Founder and President of the National Military Spouse
Network
