Showing results for "the within" in Military & War

For the first time, Army Ranger hero Nate Self tells his story. Self recounts the Roberts Ridge Rescue mission, the ferocious battles in Afghanistan, and the lone war of attrition that Nate Self has waged against post-traumatic stress disorder. This audio will become a go-to work for understanding the long-term effects of the war on terror. Thousands of families are fighting this battle, and Nate Self opens up his whole life - tragedies, successes, failures, and a struggle with suicidal thoughts - to share the facts.

It’s a book about the struggles I had encountered.

The Fourth Person Within is a book about the life of a green beret. It chronicles his life leading up to and becoming one of America's most deadly weapons. The training is only one part of the equation, when it comes to being sent to Vietnam to train the mountain people to fight against the Viet Cong. The rest of it hinges on allowing that fourth person within each of us who only comes out in extreme circumstances, such as life and death situations or when dealing with something so horrific that our minds have trouble processing it.

In The Hurricane Within, we travel with United States Coast Guard Air Medal recipient Ashlee Leppert through sudden reassignments that take her into the heart of Hurricane Harvey with all of its disaster and triumphs. Along the way, scars from the past resurface as Ashlee battles with mysterious physical symptoms that appear with more frequency and eventually put the mission and Ashlee’s own survival at risk. Find out about Ashlee’s faith, which carries her through — all the way to being the honored guest of the President of the United States.

The Nam Within, by Leonard Reese, is a narrative nonfiction memoir that speaks to veterans from all wars and others who deal with PTSD, depression, and the feeling that they may be "going crazy," and their families and friends, so that they can see that survival is possible and that they are not alone, despite the battle scars that keep rising to the surface long after the physical combat ceases.
