Description

"In this strikingly original and groundbreaking book, Dr. Shay examines the psychological devastation of war by comparing the soldiers of Homer's Iliad with Vietnam veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Although the Iliad was written twenty-seven centuries ago it has much to teach about combat trauma , as do the more recent, compelling voices and experiences of Vietnam vets." 246p. bibliography.index Remainder mark, else fine
