About this book

In this highly readable text, the author details the findings of an exhaustive series of studies of Isreali combat veterans, documenting the effects of combat stress reaction on mental and physical health, social interaction, and military effectiveness. In addition to providing mental health professionals, trauma victims, and military personnel with an unparalleled source of information, the work's exploration of the cultural, social, and political processes affecting recovery from combat stress reaction offers a unique perspective of contemporary Isreali culture.

Reviews

"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."
