Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When Canadian soldier Fred Doucette found himself deployed to Bosnia as a peacekeeper in 1995, he had a premonition that this tour of duty would be different from any other he had experienced. And so it was. In Sarajevo, imposing and maintaining peace between two warring factions was an impossible task, one that took an enormous toll on both residents and peacekeepers. A never-ending barrage of mortars, artillery, and sniper fire devastated the city, killing thousands. When the war ended, Doucette returned to Canada, where another war began. Nightmares and flashbacks plagued his days and nights. Traumatized by the horrors of Bosnia, and with no foreign posting to divert his attentions, Doucette had to face himself, his family, and his army once again. Empty Casing is the brutally honest and compelling story of the making and unmaking of a soldier, and the growth of a man. When Canadian soldier Fred Doucette went to Bosnia-Herzegovina as a peacekeeper in 1995, he had a premonition that this tour of duty would be different from anything he had previously experienced. And it was. Doucette's tour quickly became an impossible task that took a huge toll on both the residents and his fellow peacekeepers. Trapped in thier beloved city, thousands of Sarajevans, perished, and yet, Doucette found a home in the midst of this hell. Billeted with a Bosnian family, he was offered a window into a Sarajevo that few outsiders saw. When the war ended, Doucette returned to Canada to face another battle, this one characterized by nightmares and brutal flashbacks. Traumatized, he had to face himself, his family, and his army once again, but now there was no turning away, no diversion in another foreign posting. "Empty Casing" is the riveting story of the making and unmaking of a soldier, and the growth of a man.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Fred Doucette always wanted to be a soldier. In the 1960s he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and served in Cyprus in the 1970s and '80s and Bosnia in the 1990s. When he returned home to New Brunswick in 1999 after his last overseas tour, he was diagnosed with severe chronic post-traumatic stress disorder. Eventually released from the army, Fred found a position with the Operational Stress Injury Social Support (OSISS) program, where he supported serving soldiers and veterans for ten years. Better Off Dead chronicles Fred's efforts in helping to rehabilitate and support soldiers and veterans suffering from what the military terms operational stress injuries." We meet Ted, saved from a suicide attempt by a timely phone call; Bob, at wit's end and reluctantly seeking help to overcome severe PTSD; Roger, caught in a cycle of violence and drug and alcohol abuse; and Jane, diagnosed with PTSD after having been sexually assaulted while on a tour of duty in Afghanistan. These accounts are raw, desperate, and often angry, but as Doucette shows, there is hope and real progress for those able to obtain proper diagnosis and treatment. Includes a colour insert with 15 photos. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
