 A Worthy Read Nov 13, 2009
After reading the book's description and about the author on Amazon, I knew I should read this book. Returning home from Viet Nam, I also dealt with the "why me?' survivor's guilt that Mr. Weiss describes in this book. Although my service was in no way as traumatic as the author's, I suffered nevertheless, and like the author, I suffered in silence and in solitude. I spent almost eight angry years searching for something I knew to be missing. Like the author, I put my family through hell, but found my "way" with the help of my wife. Mr Weiss finds his "way" through a rigorous spiritual journey that he aptly describes in the book. The more I read, the more interested I became. It is an easy and worthy read and I found great joy in the book's ending.
Insightful Aug 26, 2009
This book is important for anyone trying to understand PTSD especially after World War II. It illuminates the struggle of the World War II veteran who never received the understanding of the emotional scars they brought back from the war. A necessary read.
 Healing Aug 02, 2009
This story put it into such personal terms the amazing journey Jess E Weiss took from the hidden wounds of war; which is every soldier's story, to the remarkable inner healing we all strive for.
In addition, I became informed about this important time in United States history. It would not surprise me to learn that this is the case for most veterans and their families; soldiers keep a myriad of secrets locked away.
This book is not merely an account of the emotional aftermath of his war but also of the well-known "post-war stress" of the Vietnam, the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan war.
A must read for any family member of a soldier past or present or any one interested in history!

Great book Jul 04, 2009
I found this book to be a great piece of history, it really makes you feel as if you were there, it also tells the horror of war and how it affects our solders no matter which war they might be in...I found it amazing that this man survived, years ago I saw Jess on a Tom Brokaw interview in Normandy on the 50 year anniversary of the invasion...he is one of the few living men from that day on the beach that we should never forget.
