Nine Pairs of Boots in Vietnam

Nine Paris of Boots in Vietnam is a sobering reminder of the internal damage often suffered by combat veterans and others with PTSD. In the authors words Ive had a story to tell from the moment I stepped back onto American soil in 1970 after serving in Vietnam for a year but it took 50 years for that story to find the right words and for those words to find their voice. My time in Vietnam ended in 1970 but I carried my experiences home with me like a heavy backpack full of unprocessed emotion. The ugliness of war was strapped to my back and I carried the burden with me unable to put it down. The real life stories told by the authors along with the After Action Review with nine steps to healing provide practical tools for veterans and family members dealing with PTSD and transitions from military to civilian life.
