Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
War has many fronts, many of which are not on the battlefield. ABC News journalist Martha Raddatz has spent several years both in Washington as the network's chief White House correspondent and on the ground in Iraq. In The Road Home, her first book, she follows the troops of the 1st Cavalry Division as they head off on their Sadr City patrols, then picks up the stories of the mothers, spouses, and families they left behind. This first-person, split-screen approach reveals the full experience of war more realistically than either a combat narrative or a home-front memoir. Vivid; personal; timely.
Andrew Carroll
… Martha Raddatz's The Long Road Home is a masterpiece of literary nonfiction that rivals any war-related classic that has preceded it … this is a book that will last, and it will do so for the same reason that any great work endures -- because, through the strength and grace of its prose, it pulls us into a world that is simultaneously foreign and familiar and makes us care about the individuals who inhabit this place long after we have closed the covers. And because, one by one, we will pass the book along to others with the only words of praise that really matter: "Here, you've got to read this."
— The Washington Post

From The Critics
Ms. Raddatz conveys who these men were (one was Specialist Casey Sheehan, whose mother, Cindy, would later become such a visible opponent of the war) and what their hellish experience was like. Her account has grit and high drama.
— The New York Times

    Highly recommended!

    I found out about this book from my husband who was in the fire fight during that time. It helped me realize what he was going through with the loss of a comrade and all the others that were wounded during it. I was also able to know how he helped save people and to help get everyone out of that situation.
    I cried during it of course because you never would think it would happen to a family member. But I thank you Martha for taking the time to write this book.

    Hit Me Hard

    This book hit me in ways that I wasnt expecting. It told a story about a group of couragous men who put their lives on the line for their country. The way they united as one group insipred me the most. The connection they had with one and other couldn't be experienced in any other way. Guys like Troy Demony and David Mathias had families and kids that they had to worry about at the same time as they were in battle. They had to deal with the fact that they were away from their family, fighting for not only their freedom, but everyone else's. The combination of loss and sacrafice made this book more touching and every bit more real. I recommend this book 1000% because it shows the hardship that really goes on in a soldiers life and it doesnt butter it up in any way. It tells detail and is a pretty in-your-face book. It is good for people to see how things like that go, because after reading this, you begin to appreciate life more and gain so much more respect for people in the military. Definately a MUST READ!

    Brilliant, detailed, and moving

    This is one of the books that I will never forget reading. I purchased it after hearing an interview with Ms. Raddatz. I began reading it and completed it just a few hours later. I was unable to take a break. Whether or not you believe we should have taken up the operation in Iraq (I do), politics are set aside as you become immersed in the special brotherhood of these soldiers. I'll never look at a soldier the same way again.

    This book will bring tears to your eyes

    I have never ever read a book that made you feel, not just say what bravery and sacrifice is. Very emotional book to read. Our soldiers are heroes, let's not ever forget that.

    Long Road Home: A Story of War and Family

    I found this book to be a very thorough and accurate description of the unrelenting bravery of our military, the hell our soldiers go through during combat, and the emotional strain that the families back home endure. The Long Road Home is very well written and should appeal to a variety of audiences, both male and female. It is important for the American public to fully understand what going to war means for our military and its families, and Martha Raddatz has captured this impeccably in her book.

    more from this reviewer

    An eye opener

    This is a terrific true bird¿s eye view of life on the ground in Iraq especially starting with April 2004 Sade City bloodbath that killed eight American troops. TV journalist Martha Raddatz interviews the soldiers caught in street fighting against the Mahdi militia in what was considered a babysitting mission until all hell broke out. The author also takes the audience back to the states to meet family members who lost loved ones. There are no political spins like recent claims the bombing of the mosque last year started the insurgency. Or even a worse lie that the American people are sacrificing to bring democracy to Iraq, Ms. Raddatz makes it clear from one small concise chapter to the next that in the United States only the soldiers and their family members are sacrificing. What have I given up ¿ nothing not even taxes to pay the war costs or the subsequent reequipping bill while the military in some cases have lost their lives or limbs.--------------- Harriet Klausner
