This book touched my heart. My nephew returned from the service with PTSD. He was behaving strangely at different times and we didn't understand what was happening. He went for counselling and was diagnosed with this illness. This book brings understanding and the struggles our vets deal with after war. Wounded warriors are not just our soldiers who lose a limb but those who struggle mentally as well. Their scars are much deeper than most of us are aware of. This soldier is a brave man to share his story which so many suffering keep hidden. He has helped me understand more about PTSD. I will also take this opportunity to thank all men and women who have served our country. -- Amazon Customer As a civilian, I'm not often given the opportunity to delve into the insights of our veterans. In his book, PTSD Road to Recovery One Soldiers Story, Bob Bray invites the reader into his frank and open world. Written in a stream-of-consciousness manner, the story told has its moments that may be triggering for some. Memories of childhood coupled with personal disclosures provide the reader a more personal account than most of us ever get to see. As Bray shares his journey, he focuses on his own experiences with ADD, AA and the aftermath of being not only a soldier but also a police officer. Both jobs put him in a unique place to give us insight where few layperson ever get to go. When Bray talks about the fact that military training teaches all of the important survival techniques, he speaks from experience. When he shares the revelation that the military does not teach their warriors how not to live that life after they finish their tours, that is something we really need to consider in how we help and live with our service people. If you want to understand some of what our soldiers deal with, read the book. If you are a fellow warrior who can't quite understand why things are so difficult, read the book. Bray offers a few items of help and points in a direction for possible assistance. What I find is that many times, just knowing you're not alone and that someone else has walked the path before you and made it out the other side intact, is a great comfort. --Gigi Miner I think it took a great deal of strength for this author to share his perspective and it's a commendable endeavor. I'd actually like to see more reflections from military veterans, who can provide insight for researchers and psychologists who treat PTSD. -- Reading Fanatic
