Summary:
Former army ranger Nate Self, a hero from the Roberts Ridge rescue in Afghanistan, tells his whole story from the pulse-pounding battle in the mountains of Afghanistan to the high-stakes battle he has waged against post traumatic stress disorder. It is especially tough to be a soldier at war. The separation from family, the fear, the unexpected. And, many times, when a soldier survives his or her tour of duty they return to a new war. The war in the mind. The war called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. This book will become a go-to book for understanding the long-term effects of the war on terror. Thousands of families are fighting this battle, and Nate opens up his life including his successes, tragedies, struggles with thoughts of suicide--to show how his faith and his family pulled him through.
