Post-traumatic stress disorder had not yet been recognized and as the men fell victim to terrible moods and illnesses, they capitulated to their pain and isolated themselves and their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith great courage and without recognition, veterans' wives held their families together despite government and community indifference, and they did so for decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhen He Came Home\u003c\/i\u003e is a belated recognition of these women, and it also focuses on how the issues of PTSD and suicide affect veterans who participate in contemporary conflicts. Told within an informed historical context and employing intimate narrative interviews, this important book examines the unexamined: how so many families have been brought to their knees and how such suffering can be prevented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dianne Dempsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922454664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922454669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Dianne Dempsey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981754007807,"sku":"9781922454669","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59259878-7657-4846-bccc-426c222d4777.jpg?v=1683257347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-he-came-home-dianne-dempsey-9781922454669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
