Exciting and Inspiring Rollercoaster Ride Memoir!
Revisado: 11-18-19
Served in Silence is a memoir detailing a retired member of the U.S. Air Force who shares his life story before, during, and after the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. The book chronicles the author's real-life highs and lows on an epic rollercoaster ride through life in the 1970s through the 2000s, and his struggle to deal with both his sexual identity and life inside and outside the military. A rare view into the life of a gay military service member, this story is about more than military experience but also human authenticity. Served in Silence provides valuable lessons to readers of all ages while entertaining as you travel through Mark's life from small town America to the war-torn Middle East.
The narrator does an excellent job of telling this story with a relatable and engaging voice that makes you want to keep listening. This is an important book for the unique perspective of the military's Don't Ask, Don't Tell era as well as lessons to apply to current day as the U.S. is banning transgender people from military service.
You will enjoy this well-written (and well-narrated) book that is full of life stories and lessons that are heartfelt, exciting, nostalgic, thought-provoking, and inspiring. Be prepared for lots of twist and turns! Let's hope the next step is a movie!
