A well-loved FIRST EDITION

Killing, watching friends die, leading others to their deaths – a soldier can only take so much of this horror without suffering the effects. Here is the personal testimony from soldiers and their families of the atrocities they have inflicted and had to endure, and of the psychological illnesses they have suffered. This book charts society’s attempts to distinguish between madness and cowardice; it chronicles the birth of modern psychiatry, the shifting moral landscape, and the ethics of war.
