The recently published book "Surviving Iraq" by Elise Forbes Tripp includes longer stories from many of the people whose portraits and statements are included in 100 Faces of War Experience.  Mrs. Tripp has interviewed many enlisted veterans of Iraq in an effort to connect the public with the reality of our nation's experience of war. The families of two Marines who lost their lives as a result of their service in Iraq are also given voice in Elise's book.  Elise and I have had many conversations over the course of the past couple years and our related work has brought us into contact with many of the same people.   We have referred each other to veterans who we have met.  As a result many people in the book "Surviving Iraq" will be familiar to you who have viewed the 100 Faces project.  Reading her book is a very good way to gain a fuller understanding of these experiences which you have been introduced to here in the 100 Faces project.
