Fascinating read about a complex individual. Like a lot of non fiction stories, there isn't necessarily a happy ending but at least some sort of closure for the author.
Excellent story; very sad throughout. The author did a great job writing the story almost like a diary. I hope this book is of help to anyone having PTSD. It can be so hard on the families. The photographs included made the story more explicit.
If you are interested in dysfunctional relationships , Vietnam war and a very good book, then I would like to have you know this is an interesting and captivating book. Read it in one day because I had to know the ending.
