For more than a decade, Ron Capps, in the capacity as both a senior
military intelligence officer and as an observer for the U.S.
Department of State, was witness to several of the most devastating
scenes of atrocity, human violence, and genocide the world has seen
in the last 20 years. From the killing fields of Kosovo, the brutal
cruelties perpetrated over the span of several conflicts in central
Africa, the wars in both Aghanistan and Iraq, and culminating in
the reality of ethnic cleansing he saw in Darfur, Ron acted as an
intelligence gatherer and reporter but was diplomatically
restrained from taking preventative action in these conflicts. The
accumulation of these experiences, combined with the helplessness
of his role as bystander, propelled him into a deep depression and
a long bout with PTSD, which nearly caused him to take his own
life. Seriously Not All Right is a soldier's memoir that provides a
unique perspective of a noncombatant yet high-ranking military
officer who suffered (and continues to suffer) from PTSD equally
with those who drew weapons in battle. His story, and that of his
recovery, is an inspiration and a sobering reminder of the cost of
all wars, even those that appeared in the media and to the general
public as merely sidelines in the unfolding drama of world events.
