  <default_description>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 Armytraditions. 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 lifes little tasksrolling out of bed to walk the dog or going grocery shopping at the post commissarycan affect ones husbands 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 wifes worst pain.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was written by the wife of a high school classmate.  I met her in 2005, but at that time didn't realize she was an author.  I read her book shortly after and LOVED it!  Much of my experience as a Navy wife helped me to completely relate to this book.  This is also the book that the TV series Ar...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32821674">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This books cover is different from the one that I am reading but it is the same book.  They just republished the book.  This book was okay.  I would not recommend reading unless you want to.  It is based on true stories, but I was not involed in the book.  It took me a long time to read because when...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23119664">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The true stories behind the hit Lifetime series &quot;Army Wives.&quot;  I just hope the heroines of the TV show don't meet the same bad ends as several in the book.  The book is well written and insightful, if a bit depressing.  Unfortunately, Ms. Biank seems to subscribe to (and perpetuate) a numb...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29736064">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As an Army wife myself and one that lived at Ft Bragg, I am finding this book to be very comforting in a strange way. However, I feel the author inserts too many of her own opinions when they aren't really necessary to the story.  Additionally, she can come across as judgemental when she is neither ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32826299">more...</a>]]></body>
