Reviews

A comprehensive, carefully researched and invaluable source of information on this important aspect of psychology and the conduct of military operations... -- Rt Hon Paddy Ashdown MP Should bury, once and for all, any lingering doubts about the existence of battle stress. It brings home starkly what is perhaps not generally appreciated, that thousands of veterans, suffering varying degrees of distress as a result of service to their country, need continuing help... A list of useful contact addresses runs to 16 pages and there are indispensable glossaries of medical and military terminology... -- Soldier Magazine, February 1999 ...Given its comprehensive nature and easy-to-read style we have no hesitation in recommending it -- Scottish Legion News (February/March 1999)
