Marine combat veteran David J. Danelo's message is simple--those who return to peace after war possess a power that must be discovered, honored, and treasured. THE RETURN: A Field Manual for Life After Combat tells how our military and civilian cultures can protect and nurture this potent gift.
The first third is one of the best descriptions of the internal conflict that servicemembers face when returning from war to civilian life. I wish the author had stopped there... the rest was not nearly as clearly written, and send to be mostly focused on filling space rather than delivering real insights.
