The Long Walk: A Story of War and the Life That Follows by Brian Castner

4.0

One of the most intimate portrayals of what it's like to go to war and come home again in the 21st century. Castner artfully tells his story in ways which swing from factual nitty-gritty detail (the pros and cons of riding in the helicopters of the various branches, the routine of gearing up) and sweeping prose that pulls the reader into his psyche and life, with every worry, desire and irritation made unselfconsciously clear.

An excellent memoir that will turn many readers' assumptions about TBIs, PTSD, military funerals, and much more, on their heads.
