I'm reading another really interesting book on military family life called Military Brats. Despite the title, it doesn't talk just about military children, but about the dynamics of a military family. It is really fascinating. I've often wondered what the legacy of our lifestyle would be for our children and this book provides some insight.

It would be a good read for people in military families and for those who have to support them. While I think some of the information is a little outdated to some extent, it does echo some important features of the culture of military families.

Note: The first edition of the book was in the 90s and was recently (2006) revised. I would definitely get the most recent version to get the best point of view.
