Book Description
Millions of American soldiers have faced the ultimate dilemma: Kill the enemy or risk being killed. Each choice traumatizes the human brain. Too many tours, too many roadside bombs, too many mortar attacks increase the likelihood of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Half a million soldiers could come back from Iraq and Afghanistan needing our help to live normal lives. Eric Newhouse, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, writes about the coming crisis of veterans returning from combat with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). The huge numbers of returning veterans threaten to overwhelm health care facilities that are already overloaded, clogged with bureaucracy, and overly reliant on prescribing medications. Newhouse lets the veterans tell you what they've been through in combat and how they can't shake it off and return to a peaceful civilian life. Book jacket.
