...Biank's novelistic sense of detail and suspense vividly demonstrates how 'the Army...could bring couples closer together...or it could rip relationships apart.' Army wives cope with unpredictable deployments and struggle to raise children alone, often on small paychecks, in a community both tightknit and sharply judgmental. 'Army wives serve, too,' says Biank - in an institution ambivalent about families. She makes sympathetic both their pride and their tragedies., Army Wives captivates readers with an up close and personal look into the 'real' everyday lives and challenges of Army spouses. Kudos to Ms. Biank for portraying each spouse's story with such heartfelt compassion ., .,."a timely look at the impact of combat and military life on the families the soldiers leave behind." --The Washington Post ""Army Wives "captivates readers with an up close and personal look into the 'real' everyday lives and challenges of Army spouses.

Parham, Host of Military Spouse Talk Radio "Tanya Biank has written a stunningly detailed, eye-opening account of what it is really like to be an Army wife. "Army Wives "demonstrates that while it is tough to be a soldier, it can be even tougher to be the wife of a soldier.

Her very readable and thoughtful book delves into a rarely studied segment of the army." --Library Journal "Biank has created a vivid picture of life today as a military spouse." --Kirkus Reviews "Tanya Biank's experience as a reporter has produced a candid and detailed study of her subjects and a riveting story, certain to engage Army wives of all generations. The incidents described and the issues surfaced in Ms. Biank's hard-hitting piece surely will get her readers' attentions and will cause us to say to each other, 'Now, what can we do about it?'" --Joanne Patton, the wife of Major General George S. Patton and the daughter-in-law of General George S. Patton, Jr. "From tragic to bittersweet, this is the untold story of the wives of our Army warriors--a powerful look for civilians and soldiers alike into the lives of women who each day embrace Duty, Honor, Sacrifice." --W.E.B. Griffin "In "Under the Sabers," Tanya Biank invites civilians into the military world, a foreign culture. She introduces us to the true meaning of honor and duty as we see the strains on wives with a spouse serving in a war zone. She richly describes the bonds among military families that serve to support a wife during her spouse's deployments and simultaneously may limit her autonomy. Under the Sabers shows that militaryfamilies are both the hidden casualties of war and a resilient group who meet the challenges for growth during every deployment. Tanya Biank helps those of us who work with families of deployed soldiers become better able to understand and serve them." --Dr. Jaine L.
