Thank You for Your Service by David Finkel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
David Finkel follows a group of soldiers as they return home from the Middle East and try to pick up their lives where they had left them. These soldiers are struggling with post traumatic stress disorder after experiencing the death and destruction of war. Finkel does an incredible job eloquently describing the lives of these servicemen along with general information about all current veterans, what they are experiencing and how the government is responding. A very emotional book that I recommend every American read.
