Rule Number Two

Rule Number Two, by Dr. Heidi Squier Kraft, is about the experiences of a clinical psychologist in an active warzone. This book is a very powerful firsthand view of how the effects of battle have serious mental repercussions on everyone involved, including the doctor herself. In the TV series M*A*S*H*, there are two rules: "Rule number one is that young men die. Rule number two is that doctors can't change rule number one."

I enjoyed this book imensley, and certainly reccomend it to anyone who is interested. Dr. Kraft also offers much insight as to the difficulties of being a mother who is away from her family for so long, and what effects it had on them as well.
