DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne of the greatest works of American literature, The Red Badge of Courage gazes fearlessly into the bright hell of war through the eyes of one young soldier, the reluctant Henry Fleming. Written by Stephen Crane at the age of twenty-one, the novel imagines the Civil War's terror and loss with an unblinking vision so modern and revolutionary that, upon publication, critics hailed it as a work of literary genius. Ernest Hemingway declared, "There was no real literature of our Civil War . . . until Stephen Crane wrote The Red Badge of Courage." This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes the short story "The Veteran," Crane's tale of an aged Civil War soldier looking back at his past.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOne Angry Veteran is a combination of story telling of my personal struggles with the military, war, PTSD, reintegrating back into civilian life and some of the methods that I use, in overcoming some of these life-changing hurdles. Using a direct "tell it like it is" approach, I communicate with you, the veteran, the veteran's spouse and supporters of the troops; in hopes of creating a dialogue between brothers and sisters in arms, family members, mental health organizations, government agencies and the public so that as a country, we can bring more awareness to the needs of veterans, garner more funding for disabled veterans along with educational and job training benefits such as the post 9/11 G.I Bill and Vocational Rehabilitation benefits. My dream is that this book finds its way into the hands of my fellow veterans that need to know, you are not alone and you are not forgotten.
