The Warrior Widows
The book “The Warrior Widows” is a tribute to the Wives of the soldiers of the Armed Forces who are engaged in defending the country from internal and external threats. Everyone knows the sacrifices a soldier has to make in terms of family life, personal comfort, and perpetual exposure to the ultimate sacrifice. However, the role and contribution of a wife in a soldier’s life are seldom highlighted and mostly forgotten. When a soldier dies, the wife transients into a state called ‘Widowhood’.

Reviews
"Ambreen worked with The Times Group with me, at Bhopal. Though our association was brief, she did an excellent job in her reporting/editorial position with us and was an asset to us during her tenure. She has excellent verbal and written communication skills and is extremely organized in her approach. She has always
been willing to go beyond her call of duty to get projects completed on time,
something which the publication industry demands. She would be an asset to any employer and I would recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue."

"Ms Ambreen Zaidi is one such personality that I came across as a candid blogger at the portal of Blogger's Park where she headed the Editorial Team. A great writer, talented journalist, proficient editor and an administrator of high capabilities, Ms. Zaidi was a central figure around whom many senior bloggers enjoyed their inter-actions. All would have agreed that Ms. Zaidi is a totally sophisticated and graceful woman whose heart was always at the service and in dedication to the spirit and objective of the organization she was commanding."
