This section is exciting and quite This is a wonderful book chronicling the authors' experiences in the Army Rangers and the battle at home to survive PTSD. This section is exciting and quite exhilarating. He keeps your attention and has you at the edge of your seat in this section. The second section might be less exhilarating, but it much more important. This section chronicles his battle with PTSD and it's effects on his growing family.

This may not be nearly as flashy and exciting, but this needs to be read and shared. This is a voice representing thousands and thousands of veterans and their families. It is hidden dark side to war. This is a book worth reading.

Read one, and then pick someone to pass the second copy to. Nov 04, Kate Schwarz rated it really liked it Shelves: I listened to this book during my drive to and from Greensboro--early on Saturday, late on Sunday, so most of my drive was in darkness. I'm not a big fan of listening to books--nothing beats turning pages and going back to look at a passage again, gazing away while you're thinking of a particular quotation--but it was cool to listen to the author's voice in my car as I zipped along in the darkness. I loved the beginning, listening to his West Point da I listened to this book during my drive to and from Greensboro--early on Saturday, late on Sunday, so most of my drive was in darkness.

I loved the beginning, listening to his West Point days and early Infantry experiences, and descriptions of the Rangers. This was my childhood. I wished there was more on his return, on how his faith in God and love for and with his wife got him through PTSD. But I understand why there isn't more on that--I was impressed with Self's honesty and openness, but that's some super personal stuff. Still, if there's a follow-up years from now, I'll read it. Aug 10, Rebecca rated it really liked it Shelves: A fantastic and deeply moving account of the making of an Army Ranger.

Although he writes in a personable way, it's not so conversational that it's hard to get into, something that I've had a problem with in other first hand warrior's stories Lone Survivor: I appreciated how honest he was with his struggles, and it gave me hope and a feeling of connection for him to open up so completely. Excellent book, especially for those with a loved with PTSD whatever the cause who are trying to understand what it feels like more completely. Apr 20, N.

And, I got really tired of the word "warrior" but I guess that's just a military thing. Otherwise, I thought it was a very good read -- pretty clear and definitely vivid. I'm surprised I didn't have nightmares, actually.

The helicopter landed in the middle of enemy staging area and 1 helicopter was shot down. Six men were killed and several wounded.

After resigning Self experience post-traumatic stress disorder but fortunately counseling and his faith helped him overcome it. Nov 18, Joseph rated it liked it. The portion that covers the battle itself is worth the time spent reading the book. However, outside of that narrative, the book is rather poorly written - choppy, lots of unexplained and loose ends left out there, and seemingly random details with no tie in to the context.

I recommend "The Unforgiving Minute" instead. While Nate Self's experience involved more death, intense violence and apparently personal struggle afterward, Craig Mullaney's text is enjoyable from beginning to end. Jul 23, Jordan Barlow rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Nate is a war hero that is a brother-in-law to me by marriage, and I cannot wait to read this book!!!

He's a man of integrity, spirituality and service and has written a wonderful book about his experience. It's next on my list, but I highly encourage anyone to read it!!

Aug 30, Lisa Blair rated it it was amazing Shelves: An excellent book in understanding what people in the military deal with internally and externally.

Highly recommended for those in the military, their families, and those who care about our men in uniform. Nov 03, Jay rated it liked it. A definite page turner for the portion of the book where he is in combat. That portion was a 5-start effort. Citations are based on reference standards.
