About the Book
In America, it is increasingly the case that the people who make, support, or protest military policy have no military experience. As Kathy Roth-Douquet and Frank Schaeffer assert in this groundbreaking work, the gap between the "all-volunteer military" and the rest of us is widening, and our country faces a dangerous lack of understanding between those in power and those who defend our way of life.

“AWOL drives home...the need to address the evaporating sense of duty and service to our nation.” — General Les Palm (retired), President and CEO Marine Corps Association
“AWOL is unique in its scope, intent and implications. [It] is clearly written and meticulously researched.” — Leatherneck Magazine
