Nam Vet Making Peace With Your Past (1987)

Although the Vietnam War officially ended in 1975, it still rages in the lives of thousands of veterans and their families. These lingering, internal battles are reflected in current statistics: * Since 1975 nearly three times as many Vietnam veterans have committed suicide than were killed in the war * The divorce rate among Vietnam veterans is above 90% * Between 40 and 60 percent of Vietnam combatants have persistent problems related to the war What's behind these frightening numbers? Why do so many Vietnam veterans suffer from flashbacks, depression, fits of rage, nightmares, emotional numbing, substance abuse and helplessness? Author and Vietnam veteran Chuck Dean endured years of agony before he found the answer. In Nam Vet, Chuck explains what caused these symptoms and suggests how veterans can break free from self-destructive behaviors. Now you can find the answer too and make lasting peace with your past.
