Publisher's note

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Rick Bragg lends his remarkable narrative skills to the story of the most famous POW this country has known.

In I Am a Soldier, Too, Bragg let’s Jessica Lynch tell the story of her capture in the Iraq War in her own words--not the sensationalized ones of the media's initial reports. Here we see how a humble rural upbringing leads to a stint in the military, one of the most exciting job options for a young person in Palestine, West Virginia. We see the real story behind the ambush in the Iraqi Desert that led to Lynch's capture. And we gain new perspective on her rescue from an Iraqi hospital where she had been receiving care. Here Lynch’s true heroism and above all, modesty, is allowed to emerge, as we're shown how she managed her physical recovery from her debilitating wounds and contended with the misinformation--both deliberate and unintended--surrounding her highly publicized rescue. In the end, what we see is a uniquely American story of courage and true heroism.

Annotation

In this Iraq War account, award-winning journalist Rick Bragg details the attack, capture, injuries, and imprisonment of Private First Class Jessica Lynch, and her subsequent release. Traveling across Iraq with her unit during the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of that country, Lynch was captured and held by Iraqi forces, then removed from the hospital by American forces--an event that was quickly capitalized on by the military, George W. Bush's government, and the media for a variety of sometimes opposing purposes. Bragg also explores Lynch's past and the effect that her capture had on her family and the people in her town.
