This is the story of how and why she traveled to Iraq to visit him on a military base. It is a remarkable portrait of what it means to be a mother in a time of war. It also tells of her continuing journey through the middle east, interviewing mothers in war zones including Iraq, Israel and the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan and the United States. As these women relate their experiences, across the political divide, they show how they view their child's involvement in war, and illustrate the wider impact of war on family, community and country. In exploring how mothers cope with war, Galleymore sheds light on related social issues including how countries treat their war veterans; US military recruitment techniques; conscientious objection and AWOL; courts martial; and the failures and successes of military leadership. She explores cultural differences and examines common assumptions civilians hold about war and why troops themselves are hesitant to share their own stories or discuss the psychological breakdown that occurs within their ranks.Long Time Passing gets to the heart of extreme social experiences -- war and warriors, mothers and children, leadership -- and explores the limits of courage and fear. 517 3 $aMothers speak about war and terror 606 $aIraq War, 2003-2011$vBiography 606 $aMothers of soldiers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aMothers of soldiers$zMiddle East$vInterviews 606 $aWomen and war$zMiddle East$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aWar and society$zMiddle East$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aTerrorism$xSocial aspects$zMiddle East$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aMiddle East$xHistory, Military$y21st century 615 0$aIraq War, 2003-2011 615 0$aMothers of soldiers 615 0$aMothers of soldiers 615 0$aWomen and war$xHistory 615 0$aWar and society$xHistory 615 0$aTerrorism$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a956.70443092 700 $aGalleymore$b Susan$01649632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815706403321 996 $aLong time passing$93998474 997 $aUNINA
