The Untold War: Inside the Hearts, Minds, and Souls of Our Soldiers
The Untold War draws on revealing interviews with servicemen and -women to offer keen psychological and philosophical insights into the experience of being a soldier. Bringing to light the ethical quandaries that soldiers face--torture, the thin line between fighters and civilians, and the anguish of killing even in a just war--Nancy Sherman opens our eyes to the fact that wars are fought internally as well as externally, enabling us to understand the emotional tolls that are so often overlooked.
