The Army seemed like an attractive proposition to young Joy Damiani. Recruited for the job of Army journalist in the aftermath of 9/11, she enlisted and was sent to Baghdad as a public affairs specialist - "just like journalism," the recruiter swore. From naive recruit to disgruntled veteran, If You Ain't Cheatin', You Ain't Tryin' chronicles one skeptical soldier's uncensored misadventures in creatively coping with life, the military, and a mission full of oxymorons in the early years of the Global War on Terror.'... irreverent humor and great insight ... this is an impressively perspicacious reflection, as astute as it is personally forthcoming. A thoughtful examination of the tension between the demands of journalism and military life." - Kirkus Reviews
