“Soldier Girls draws on four years of reporting to create one of the finest portraits of life in America’s enlisted ranks after Sept. 11, 2001.” (The Wall Street Journal)
“What Thorpe accomplishes in Soldier Girls is something far greater than describing the experience of women in the military. The book is a solid chunk of American history — detailing the culture’s failing, resilience and progress… Thorpe triumphs.” (The New York Times Book Review)
“‘Soldier Girls’ is a breakthrough work that spans 12 years of these women’s lives…. Thorpe achieves a staggering intimacy with her subjects.” (The New York Times)
“In the tradition of Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, Richard Rhodes, and other masters of literary journalism, ‘Soldier Girls’ is utterly absorbing, gorgeously written, and unforgettable.” (The Boston Globe)
