HIDDEN WOUNDS: A Soldier's Burden | by Nate Brookshire and Marius Tecoanta

HiddenWounds.org

"HiddenWounds.org's mission is to provide interim and emergency counseling services to ensure the psychological health and well-being to combat veterans and their families. If you are a military veteran or family member in need of assistance please call 1-888-4HW-HERO."

"The successful reintegration of veterans back into our society comprises some of the most important work being done in America today, and Hidden Wounds is at the forefront of that effort. They are filling a crucial gap in government services and literally saving lives."

—Sebastian Junger, Author, A Perfect Storm and Director, Restrepo

"A winner…thoroughly enjoyable reading!"

—Colonel (ret) Mike Valdez, Vietnam veteran

"The soldier often serves long after his tour of duty is over. This book reminds us all that even the strongest and most courageous can break. We need to remember to look beyond the uniform and help our service members recover from the most difficult challenges...the challenges inside."

—Kevin Hogan, Psy.D. Author of The Gift and The Psychology of Persuasion

"Because their first book sprawls across continents and generations, some readers might assume Captains Nathan Brookshire and Marius Tecoanta have written popular fiction. But their words really speak to men fresh from combat and returning for more. Rather than trying to understand "Hidden Wounds: A Soldier's Burden" as a timeless study of pain, loss and regret, readers should think of it as a testament to an American military suffering through nearly a decade at war. There's an abiding decency to this novel, which I suspect was animated by the authors' shared strength of character and commitment to help others."

— Carl Prine, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

"A compelling and moving story of family and war, of what tears people apart and what brings them together. This book touched my heart. I hope it will open the way for a better understanding of the lasting wounds of war, especially PTSD."

— Toni Bernhard, Author of How to Be Sick

"The novel touches on important issues about service in wartime. How does the random violence of war affect a young man's life? How does a soldier come to terms with taking life? What are the roles of redemption and responsibility? America has thousands of young men who grapple with these issues, and the outcome of their struggle affects us all. Listed at the end of the book are organizations that help our military and their families with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other 'hidden wounds'."

— William V. Burns

US military vets are coming home. Their visible scars are evident; what you don't see is their Hidden Wounds. Two U.S. soldiers are sounding a warning to act now before Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) explodes in America’s families and communities.

Hidden Wounds: A Soldier’s Burden released November 15 by Network 3000 Publishing, shows how the inner trials of a US Serviceman can haunt a lifetime and impact an entire family.

“This book is a platform for the conversations that must take place so that we can address and heal issues such as PTS (Post Traumatic Stress), addictions, suicide and survivor guilt to help individual Vets recover and reintegrate,” says co-author and U.S. Military Officer, Nathan Brookshire.

“Rather than glorify war, we shed light on ordinary men and women in the military, who day after day are faced with life and death decisions,” says co-author Marius Tecoanta.

Brookshire and Tecoanta along with the publisher, have chosen to donate proceeds from book sales to http://www.hiddenwounds.org in support of their work with challenges faced by returning vets.

Hidden Wounds: A Soldier's Burden - About the Book

April 13, 1945… The last days of WWII… Eight lone German soldiers surrendered.

Instead of a POW camp, their steps took them into a shallow grave.

John Dougall, an 18-year-old American soldier stood by as the murderous shots were fired. Laying there among the dead was Rudolph Haas, an officer whose death would burden John for a lifetime.

John sought redemption in the rugged hills of Korea and in the swamps of Vietnam. Chaining him to remorse and guilt were the private thoughts of Haas, written carefully into the diary that John had taken from the German's body. Six decades later, fate gave John one last chance to set things right and make peace with his past.

This is the story of two soldiers robbed of their happiness, yet both clinging fiercely to their Honor; and the stories of their wives, as strong in heart as any warrior. The journey takes our heroes from the safety of South Carolina to the battlefields of Europe and from the frozen Siberian Gulag to the gothic cities of Bavaria. The secrets of the Journal connect them all and unbeknownst to John, spark a love that heals their hidden wounds.
