Soldiers Once: My Brother and the Lost Dreams of America's Veterans

by Catherine Whitney

Soldiers Once: My Brother and the Lost Dreams of America's Veterans Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Catherine Whitneys brother, Vietnam veteran Jim Schuler, died at just fifty-three years old, while living in a flophouse. It had been sixteen years since, in one of his drunken rages, he had last seen his family. He was one of countless veterans who never recovered from the trauma of war and the stress of returning to live in a country that didnt care about his pain.

The story of what happened to Whitneys brother resonates with humanity and has a clear relevance to current national concerns. Soldiers Once puts a very human face on veterans policies, finding in Whitneys personal drama a broader significance. It is both an investigation into her brothers loss and a meditation on the lost dreams of our military brotherhood.

Synopsis:

Bestselling author Whitney buried her brother, Vietnam veteran Jim Schuler, one day before September 11, 2001. This is his story, and the story of countless other veterans, who never recovered from the trauma of war.

Synopsis:

From a bestselling author, the poignant story of her Vietnam veteran brother, whose circumstances in death echo the dismal condition of countless veterans
