Written to accompany a Channel 4 television series this book considers the psychological impact of wars from the First World War to the Gulf War. Notes that although there have been significant developments in the acceptance of, and treatments for, what is now known as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), military commanders still face the essential dilemma that everybody in combat is stressed and not everybody can be excused service on these grounds. The book contains a number of factual and grammatical errors.
