Every young civilian working on DOD contracts should read this especially if they're LGBT. 

Very insightful to something that was going at the same time as my youth that I didn't understand at the time.

I read this as the March book for a queer lit bookclub. 
This book made me think. I knew the US military was cooked, but seeing the insideous and complicated ways this played out in Chelsea's life was something else. I really respected her writing - she was honest about her flaws and actions, including negative things. She's a real human and she'd explain the emotions behind these actions - not to gain sympathy but as a fact-based explanation on what lead to those actions. 
She got to tell her own story, something she mentions throughout the book as being important to her.

A difficult but important book. It's good to learn more about things in her own words, and it's impressive how much she was able to disclose even with censors.
