Join the Military
Librarians Group for an evening with Ms. Katherine M.
Skiba, author of the book SISTER IN
THE BAND OF BROTHERS: Embedded with the 101st
Airborne in Iraq, as she speaks about her days as a
journalist in the early stage of IRAQ hostilities. Her riveting
memoir provides a vivid you-are-there account of her experiences
with the Army’s legendary 101st Airborne, the division
celebrated for its heroism in World War II as the “Band of
Brothers.” Skiba, a reporter and photographer, was the sole
female civilian among the 2,300 soldiers of the 159th Aviation Brigade,
whose pilots flew Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters into the thick of
battle. Her dispatches were a vital lifeline between the troops and
their families and earned her a grateful national audience. Reporting on
the men and women in uniform with journalistic dedication, natural
compassion, and an eye for the absurd, she chronicled her experiences
from “media boot camp” to the kick-off of Operation Iraqi Freedom to the
fall of Baghdad, including a missile attack on the brigade’s desert
camp. |
