Journalist Eileen Rivers will stop by Fort Knox's Barr Memorial Library on Thursday, March 21, at noon as part of the Authors at Your Library program.
Her novel, Beyond the Call: Four Women On The Front Lines in Iraq And Afghanistan, is a riveting account of three women who fought shoulder-to-shoulder with their male counterparts and worked with local women to restore their lives, villages, and to push back the enemy. For the women of the military's Female Engagement Teams (FET), it was dangerous, courageous, and sometimes heartbreaking work.
Rivers is a USA Today editor and editorial board member. Formerly with the Washington Post, she has been writing and reporting for more than 15 years. A veteran of the U.S. Army, she served in Kuwait following Desert Storm, where she was sent into the former combat zone as an Arabic linguist. Rivers currently lives in Maryland.
Books will be available for purchase at the event, which is free and open to the public.
