en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 1995
An original and groundbreaking book that examines the psychological devastation of war by comparing the soldiers of Homer s Iliad with Vietnam veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder
In this strikingly original and groundbreaking book, Dr. Shay examines the psychological devastation of war by comparing the soldiers of Homer s "Iliad" with Vietnam veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Although the "Iliad" was written twenty-seven centuries ago it has much to teach about combat trauma, as do the more recent, compelling voices and experiences of Vietnam vets."
