Friend Grief and the Military
History
"They were killing my friends." That was how Medal of Honor recipient Audie Murphy justified his heroic actions in World War II. As long as there have been wars, men and women in the military have watched their friends die. Experts warn that delaying our grief will complicate our lives. But what about those who have no choice but to delay it until the battle is over? In "Friend Grief and The Military: Band of Friends" you'll meet military and non-combatants who struggle with the grief and guilt of losing their friends. You'll learn, too, in the amazing ways they help each other, that "leave no one behind" is a life-long commitment.

What kind of grief is this?
Though I knew a little about the grief felt by those in the military, I learned a lot writing this book. We see the issues these brave men and women face whenever there is a traumatic event. But unlike those one-and-done tragedies, those in the military cannot stop a war to grieve. They have to delay it, and there are real consequences to that. Unless you also served, especially in wartime, you cannot truly appreciate the bonds forged in conflict. But I hope you can understand the price they pay for their service.

Politics & Social Sciences
In UNSTOPPABLE Straight Women on the AIDS Frontlines, Victoria Noe returns to the subject of her award-winning 2019 book F*g Hags, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community. But this time, the author focuses on the shifting public health environment of today.
Showcasing candid personal interviews that are complemented by extensive research, UNSTOPPABLE highlights the critical work of straight women to end the epidemic. Also explored are their responses to new challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the second Trump administration’s dismantling of HIV services, research, and treatment. How do they respond to the erasure of their accomplishments? Is the goal of ending the epidemic by 2030 no longer possible?
They are frustrated, exhausted, angry but determined. And they're not giving up.
Because they’re unstoppable.

How Martina changed my book.
Martina Clark is her own chapter in the book because she embodies so many aspects of what the HIV community is going through right now. Her life's work - in the US and internationally - is most likely destroyed. She struggles to get approved for disability. She worries about being able to afford her medications. And yet, she finds a way to channel her anger into action, and find hope along the way. That inspired me.
