Thank You for Your Service by David Finkel
4.0
“thank you for your service” David Finkel
Davids second book on the time he spent as a journalist in iraq, the first one earned him the pullitzer prize. A non-fiction narative that reads like fiction.on the “after war” the soldiers struggle with PTSD and readapting to real life. This was a hard book for me to read after experiencing one of my friends losing his battle with PTSD, and others struggle with physical and mental wounds from tours. If you dont understand the symptoms and gravity of the PTSD epidemic affecting service members and first responders around the world pick this up, it will break your heart, make you angry at the people around them , feel sorry for them, and realize just how bad we are at accepting and understanding people around us with mental illness. This book is a little more tame than the good soldiers and didnt hit me quite as hard but still excellent. Pick up one of his books ASAP you wont regret it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
