Sins of the Fathers portrays the essence of how wars encompass the political views of not only religious sects and cultures, but also the roles played by women in those wars. The main character in this book finds herself in a compromising position as a Christian and an American female soldier in a Muslim environment. Her job is complicated by the way she is perceived by militant Muslims. As a former female soldier in the Gulf War, I would recommend this book to all females who consider the military as their career choice. In lieu of more women taking part in wars today, it gives great insight as to how we are viewed by our own male members, as well as by other cultures and nations.

This is an intriguing book for public relations/public information professionals. Suspense and romance are all rolled into one story! The main character, Leslie Johnson, is a public affairs officer stationed at the Pentagon, but on temporary assignment to the IFOR Headquarters in Zagreb, Croatia.

Her experiences are educational and entertaining!

It is a fast-paced action/romance novel that becomes a "page turner," after the stage is set in the first two chapters. The author's artistic ability is apparent. Story, descriptions, and character development are masterfully written by someone who experienced war in the Balkans. The powerful underlying subject of the book is genocide, which is delicately and artistically dealt with from a Christian Biblical perspective. A must read on anyone's contemporary book list. It is an especially empowering book for women.
