If I could give a book 10 stars, this would be the book. And maybe I'm biased, I know the author personally. But, I also work treating veterans for PTSD and a range of other emotional and behavioral difficulties. And in the three years I've been working at the Veteran Hospital, I have read many many books about veterans, combat, PTSD, I've seen the movies and the documentaries, both fiction and non-fiction. And I have to say, without a doubt, this book is the best, most thought-provoking, most honest story of war and the aftermath, that I have come across.

Throughout the narrative, the author constantly vaccilates between the past and present, a struggle I have seen of so many war-torn veterans, those who often have a difficult time making the past/present separation, responding to their civilian life the way they would while at war. The abundance of emotions that the author has fought to make sense of resonate throughout, and in such a way, that it sucks the reader right in with him, I felt the Crazy.

Thank you Brian, and Welcome Home.
