Advance Praise
“In a time when Islamophobia shapes political discourse in society, Sandhoff unveils the diverse experiences of Muslims in our most hallowed social institution—the military. Service in a Time of Suspicion delivers compelling narratives that help the reader connect with the unique space between being Muslim and military service.”—Captain David Smith, USN, U.S. Naval Academy
“Sandhoff gives voice to an often caricatured group of military personnel. In so doing, she raises questions about what it means to be an American for Muslims and non-Muslims alike. A humanizing and urgent book about identity, inclusion, and the contemporary vitality of our nation’s founding ideals.”—Kim Philip Hansen, author, Military Chaplains and Religious Diversity
“Despite a re-emergence of American Islamophobia, thousands of Muslims have served in our armed forces since 9/11. Sandhoff’s interviews with service members demonstrate that one can be both American and Muslim, and that their personalities, motivations, and military experiences are as diverse as those of any other group of service members.”—David R. Segal, founding director, Center for Research on Military Organization, University of Maryland
“Sandhoff provides us a rare gift—an in-depth study of American military service members during a time of war—the more so because her subjects are all Muslim Americans. Her analysis reveals experiences that are nuanced and compelling; a diversity of experiences is the norm.”—Morten G. Ender, author, American Soldiers in Iraq

Very interesting book about This is a book that gives you viewpoints from Muslims in the military. It gives you various points, some good, some bad. but all one's experience. Gives a very good view of being Muslim in this day and climate and being military. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher in return for my honest review.
