More than 300,000 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and studies show that many are not receiving treatment. The devastating toll of these wars on their veterans is only now being fully realized. In this simultaneously haunting and heartening narrative, Sgt. Billy Caviness describes the day his unit was attacked, his grievous injuries, his inability to distinguish the home zone from the war zone, and his path back to psychological health. The surprise at 4:39 will bring tears to your eyes.
