Editorial Reviews
Review
"Solomon's elegant integration of clinical anecdote, empirical findings, and theory in this book will appeal to trauma specialists and nonspecialists alike. Her clear presentation of the phenomena of combat stress reaction (CSR) will easily educate those unfamiliar with the psychological aftermath of traumatic events [...] eloquently achieves its goal of describing the complex and persistent sequelae of war [...] Solomon's personal insights and the rich case studies highlight the human tragedies that accompany battle."
