There's a new book out called Two Wars: One Hero's Fight on Two Fronts - Abroad and Within, by Army Ranger Nate Self (great name, on both counts). It's already #3 on Amazon in books about PTSD - the rest are more typically clinically oriented texts about coping with combat trauma and PTSD, such as you'll see in the left hand column on this blog. This one is written by a highly-decorated Army ranger (Purple Heart, Silver Star) and West Point grad about the two battles he's fought: one in Afghanistan and Iraq, with insurgents; the other on the home front, with PTSD. I just learned about it today so haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but be forewarned - it appears to have a spiritual/religious angle to it, in terms of his recovery, and it's published by Tyndale House, which is typically known as a religious book and Bible publisher. "Not that there's anything specifically wrong with that" - unless of course you'd rather know that in advance, which I certainly would. Still, major kudos to Nate Self for a) recovering enough to tell his tale; and b) telling it in real time, when it can still help a lot of people, especially those who view life most through the prism of religion-based spirituality. My guess is it must be pretty good to have already vaulted to #3 in its category on Amazon, although I'm sure the video helps, because that's a very wise marketing move indeed. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first and only book written by an OIF/OEF veteran about his or her battle with PTSD, and subsequent -- what I'm assuming is -- recovery. It will be great to take a look at this; and I'm hoping it helps a lot of people.
