Stacy Bannerman's husband, Lorin was a 43-year-old Sergeant First
Class in the reserve army who had never thought he'd be called upon
to wage war, but in October 2003 he was called to active duty as an
Infantry Mortar Platoon Sergeant. He had completed his duty and
commitment to the U.S. Army as of 22 June, 2004, but due to
President Bush's Stop Loss order, he was on the war's front-lines
until at least April 2005. Stacy Bannerman has a unique vantage
point for writing "When The War Came Home". On the one hand, she is
like the many thousands of women left behind while their reservist
husbands and partners are sent to fight in Iraq - for as
ill-equipped as their husbands are to wage war, the families left
behind are often even less equipped to cope. On the other hand,
Stacy Bannerman has the singular viewpoint of being a high-profile
career peace activist, who ultimately finds herself at odds with
her husband fighting on the front lines of Iraq in one of the most
dangerous assignments in the Army. Bannerman describes the
countdown to her husband's deployment, and documents her ongoing
struggle to reconcile her anti-war sentiments with the need to
support and honor her husband for the choice he made and for the
risks he's taking for his country.
