Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound impact of military service on the individual, exploring how the army machine molds civilians into professional soldiers, stripping them of their individuality and alienating them from the world they left behind. Through historical examples, the author examines the challenges faced by veterans throughout time, from the Roman legionaries to the soldiers of the American Civil War and World War I. The author argues that the transition from soldier to civilian is fraught with difficulties, as veterans grapple with bitterness, psychological trauma, and the need to readjust to family and economic life. The book critiques past attempts to assist veterans, highlighting both successes and failures, and emphasizes the importance of developing a new art of rehabilitation to effectively support their reintegration into society. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the enduring challenges faced by veterans and underscores the crucial responsibility of society to understand and address their needs. By illuminating the psychological and social complexities of the veteran experience, it calls for a compassionate and comprehensive approach to ensuring their successful return to civilian life.
