AWOL by Kathy Roth-Douquet

AWOL by Kathy Roth-Douquet

In America, it is increasingly the case that the people who make, support, or protest military policy have no military experience. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, the gap between the all-volunteer military and the rest of us is widening, and our country faces a dangerous lack of understanding between those in power and those who defend our way of life.

Frank Schaeffer is the author of more than a dozen New York Times bestselling fiction and nonfiction books. Frank is a polio survivor who overcame severe dyslexia, a home-schooled and self-taught documentary film director, and a feature film director who has directed four low-budget Hollywood features that Frank regards as quite horrible. He's also a painter with a devoted following of collectors who hold a large number of his oil works. Frank's three semi-autobiographical novels (Portofino, Zermatt, and Saving Grandma) have been translated into nine languages and recount growing up in a fundamentalist mission.
