Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Book is clean with a square, tight binding and white pages. Book has minor wear on the covers that is difficult to see in the scans. During his service at the 85th Evacuation Hospital in Phu Bai, Vietnam, Gus wrote fourteen letters to his sister Helene. What began as updates from a brother abroad became an unintentional chronicle of psychological transformation under relentless exposure to catastrophic injury, moral strain, and unremitting loss. Now, fifty-five years later, those letters are revisited with the clarity of medical insight and lived experience. The result is a longitudinal exploration of PTSD as it develops — not retrospectively reconstructed, but captured in the immediacy of youth and examined through the lens of a lifetime.
