What are the long-term psychological costs of violence and war?
Journalist Garry Leech draws from his experiences as a war
correspondent, his ongoing personal struggle with PTSD and the
latest research on this mental illness to provide a powerful and
vivid answer to this question. For thirteen years, Leech worked in
Colombia's rural conflict zones where he experienced combat,
witnessed massacre sites and was held captive by armed groups. This
raw account of his journey from war on the battlefield to an
internal, psychological war at home illustrates how those who work
with traumatized populations can themselves be impacted by trauma.
Leech removes some of the stigmas, fears and ignorance related to
PTSD in particular, and mental illness in general, by shedding
light on a largely invisible illness that mostly manifests itself
behind the closed doors of our homes. Ultimately, the book uses a
journalist's journey through PTSD to provide a message of hope for
all those who suffer from this illness.
