Karen Bondley, Arnold's wife of 46 years, worked in hospital administration and taught health careers at a local rural high school. She holds degrees in sociology and communications. After Arnold's death, she drew from his journal, letters, interviews with Army buddies, and her own reflections to write this book, offering insight into the long, hidden impact of war-related PTSD.
""We were young and innocent, but we were trained to do a job. After our service, many of us suffered physical and mental health problems that left us with lifelong disabilities. People would say, 'You're different now.' And we were. The mental health issues we faced included depression, fear, anger, anxiety, and guilt. Many of these emerged years after the war and were eventually labeled Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This book shares a dramatic account of how war trauma affects veterans, their families, and friends. I'm proud of my service to my country."" - John 'Toby' Grant - Australian Vietnam Veteran 1968-1969
