Former army ranger Nate Self, a hero from the Robert’s Ridge rescue in Afghanistan, tells his whole story―from the pulse-pounding battle in the mountains of Afghanistan to the high-stakes battle he has waged against post traumatic stress disorder. This book will become a go-to book for understanding the long-term effects of the war on terror. Thousands of families are fighting this battle, and Nate opens up his life―including his successes, tragedies, struggles with thoughts of suicide―to show how his faith and his family pulled him through. Includes 8 pages of color photos.

From the Back Cover: The frontlines on the war on terror A world away from his wife and family A downed helicopter, surrounded by al-Qaeda A trauma from which few recover completely "I had died on that mountain. Who I used to be, the man I was before, had died there, with many others. Now I didn't know who I was. Now I wanted to kill who I had become." For the first time ever, Nate Self tells the complete account, featured in part on Dateline NBC, of the battle he led in Afghanistan to rescue a Navy SEAL who had fallen into the hands of al-Qaeda fighters. It's the story of a hero who fights two wars-the fight in Afghanistan and the fight against Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder-to preserve his mind and soul, his family and home. A rare look into a soldier's soul.
