Wheels On Fire: My Year of Driving (And Surviving) in Iraq

From 2004-2005, Staff Sergeant Michelle Zaremba led supply convoys through the streets of Baghdad. A woman in combat, truck driver, Purple Heart recipient, leader of men: roles she never thought she'd be living when she joined the National Guard at age 17 looking for direction.

For more than a year, Michelle saw the Iraq War firsthand, experiencing the terror, the camaraderie and the frustration of being so far away from home for so long.

Funny and poignant, Wheels On Fire is one woman's personal experience of the war in Iraq -- bad food, incompetent leadership, camel spiders and all.
