“It is addressed to Army brides and to young women in the service. It is written by an army wife who has enjoyed to the fullest the pleasure of Service life and has tasted its disappointments, griefs, and anxieties. Mrs. Shea was prompted, in writing this book by her own experiences and by the experiences of others. She states that she in no way wishes to set herself up as an authority but is simply offering friendly advice. In the Service many unnecessary pitfalls may be avoided by knowing the facts about Army life, and these facts have been given in this informative volume. Knowing the important part the Army wife plays in her husband’s military career, this book meets a real need in the National Defense Program of today and the future.” [a review]
