In My War in Pieces: Lessons from the Edge of Vietnam, author and veteran Jay Harden gifts us with a panoramic view of what it really means to go to combat—and somehow find a path back to self, sanity, and humanity. As a navigator on sixty-three B-52 combat missions, Jay's insightful first-hand perspectives of the aftermath of having knowingly taken the lives of other human beings—albeit in the name of country—provide valuable lessons for warriors of all kinds. As Jay says, "Going to war is an intimate transformation like no other." The wisdom gained, and the possibilities for our society to tend to our veterans in a vastly more healing, compassionate way, make My War in Pieces an essential resource for men, women, and their families.
