Sommario/riassunto

A nationally-renowned authority on post-traumatic stress disorder reveals the psychiatric impact of war on soldiers and veterans, which is denied or minimized by government and the military. Through efforts



to treat veterans of past conflicts he illustrates the inevitability of lifelong psychiatric scars from today's conflicts as well.
