Description: "Usually when we talk about post traumatic stress disorder the conversation is about members of the military, about those whom we unfortunately expect to have experienced the horrors of war but increasingly the United States is sending civilian employees, diplomats, intelligence analysts, reconstruction specialists, contract administrators, not just to hardship posts but into actual combat zones, and then expecting them to do their usual jobs but under extraordinary and perilous conditions. So it should not be any surprise that those who are now returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are returning not only with exotic souvenirs but with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) as well"-- From publisher’s website.
