Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Confronting the barriers and stigma around PTSD and navigating the recovery process can be an enormous challenge for many veterans. I salute Sgt Grant's authentic account of his recovery story through his cross Canada motorcycle journey to offer hope and meaning to others in similar circumstances. I will forever be grateful to veterans like Sgt Grant for who paid the ultimate price with their service and have returned to make a difference. I wouldn't be where I am today without the veterans who created the Paralympic sport movement. As a young kid, their courage inspired me to believe that I could achieve my potential as an athlete and go on my Man In Motion World Tour. Whether it's overcoming a visible or invisible barrier, as a nation, we have a responsibility to honour and support our veterans on their respective missions of recovery. Rick Hansen, Founder & CEO, Rick Hansen Foundation"Riding down the road when you are in your Zen space, you digest parts of your memories a little bit at time… Healing doesn't happen overnight, nor do the memories of the trauma ever disappear completely, but you can learn to live with the experience." After a diagnosis of PTSD, Kurt Grant has to leave his military career behind. In an attempt to find healing and peace, he takes a cross-country trip on his motorcycle, hoping that long stretches of road and some fly-fishing interludes will sort out the chaos in his mind. But as he travels, he finds far more-pieces of his past, understanding of the country he calls home, the joys of small prairie towns, and some spectacular fishing spots. More than that, he finds profound truth about what it truly means to heal from a wound that nobody can see.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Andy Owen invites us to reflect on the morally and psychological difficult question of why soldiers desert in war and how we do, and should, respond to their desertion. He weaves his own experience of battle into the story of Alan Juniper, a British soldier who deserted twice during WWII. The result: a challenging and, at times, profoundly moving book. Professor Cécile Fabre, All Souls College, University of OxfordAll Soldiers Run Away: Alano's War, the Story of a British Deserter is the tale of Alan Juniper's wartime experiences in the North African and Italian Campaigns in WW2, as well as a wider look at the taboo subject of desertion both then and today.From his first days with the Tower Hamlets Rifles in London to the scorching, unforgiving sands of North Africa, to that first, terrifying battle with Rommel and his Afrika Korps, we follow Alan Juniper through a series of intense and confusing encounters with the enemy and his eventual first desertion, subsequent incarceration, and grasp at a chance for freedom (in exchange for fighting in the Italian Campaign). Alan's story presents a broken man in a broken landscape, struggling on in unbearable circumstances, from the brutality of night fighting in the hills of Perugia to another desertion and a period of unexpected peace in a small Umbrian village, where he is taken in by people who had, only months before, been the enemy.All Soldiers Run Away is the search for Alan's tale in lost battles, missing war diaries, and faded memories. Through his story and contrasting desertions, this text examines why the military and society condemns those who desert, and goes on to explore what duties soldiers have towards one another and their homelands. This story is indeed that of Alano's war, but it is, just as much, the story of deserters in general, presenting a new perspective on that once-shamed act of desertion and asking the readers to come to new understanding of what it is we ask of our men and women in uniform.Andy Owen served in the Intelligence Corps of the British Army, reaching the rank of Captain. He completed operational tours in Northern Ireland, Iraq, and Afghanistan. All Soldiers Run Away is his third book following the novels: East of Coker and Invective.…
