Just out of high school in 1977, her personal life already a mess, Tracy Crow thought the Marines might straighten her out. And sure enough, in the Corps she became a respected public affairs officer and military journalist -- one day covering tank maneuvers or beach assaults, the next interviewing the secretary of the navy. But success didn't come without a price.
When Crow pledged herself to God, Corps, and Country, women Marines were still a rarity, and gender inequality and harassment were rampant. Determined to prove she belonged, Crow always put her career first -- even when, after two miscarriages and a stillborn child, her marriage to another Marine officer began to deteriorate. And when her affair with a prominent general was exposed -- and both were threatened with court-martial -- Crow was forced to re-evaluate her loyalty to the Marines, her career, and her family.

Eyes Right is Crow's story. A clear-eyed self-portrait of a troubled teen bootstrapping her way out of a world of alcoholism and domestic violence, it is also a rare inside look at the Marines from a woman's perspective. Her memoir, which includes two Pushcart Prize-nominated essays, evokes the challenges of being a woman and a Marine with immediacy and clarity, and in the process reveals how much Crow's generation did for today's military women, and at what cost.
