I Married the Army reflects the peculiar vicissitudes of life experienced by the army wife . . . so different from her civilian counterpart. Absorbingly interesting and very readable, Doe has woven together anecdotes and situations which characterise Service Life. The book humanizes a hitherto closed society describing the hilarious, sensitive, heartbreaking and at times bizarre episodes that comprise bringing up Dad, dogs and kids in a turbulence of movement. It brings out a deep-rooted sense of camaraderie, which enhances the quality of life of which the beleaguered ‘woman’ is proud to be a part.
