Continuing Actions: A Warrior's Guide To Coming Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517180515)

Dan Sheehan served two tours as a Marine in Iraq: the first flying Cobra helicopters during the 2003 invasion and the second as a Forward Air Controller with a special operations unit in 2004. His first book, After Action: The True Story of a Cobra Pilot's Journey, won multiple awards and continues to help many to understand the human costs of war. His second book, Continuing Actions: A Warrior's Guide to Coming Home, shares the lessons he learned by navigating his own return from combat and combines them with pragmatic suggestions for how others can do the same. Drawing on the works of mental health professionals, scholars, and other veterans, Continuing Actions takes aim at a critical shortcoming in how modern warriors are prepared for the challenges of service, and provides suggestions for how individual veterans and active duty can overcome these challenges themselves. When he's not writing, flying, chasing his two young children, or walking the dogs, Dan can usually be found surfing with his wife off the southern California coast.
