"The stories . . . are top-notch and engaging as soldiers and veterans grapple with big questions while seeking meaning in life and coping with war and PTSD." -Booklist Ask combat veterans to name the worst experience of their lives, and they'll probably tell you it was war. But ask them to choose the best experience, and they'll usually say it was war, too. For those who haven't served in combat, this is nearly impossible to understand. The spectrum of emotions experienced by a combat veteran is far wider than that experienced in civilian life, and for that reason it can be hard for a veteran to re-assimilate. What is it about war that soldiers miss? This is a question every civilian should try to understand. Weaving together a wide range of stories, from the flight deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier off Syria to climbing a forbidden Himalayan pass into Tibet, this moving, insightful book explains one of the most everlasting human pursuits-war. But it is also about coming home and confronting another kind of struggle, which we all share-the search for happiness. In this collection, Nolan Peterson writes of war from the perspective of both combatant and witness, taking us from missions over Afghanistan as an Air Force special ops pilot to the frontlines against ISIS in Iraq, and to trench and tank battles in Ukraine. Interweaving his reports with a narrative of his own transformation from combat pilot to war journalist, he explores a timeless paradox: Why does coming home from war feel like such a disappointment?
