{"product_id":"camouflaged-nightmares-a-memoir-of-the-vietnam-war","title":"CAMOUFLAGED NIGHTMARES: A Memoir of the Vietnam War","description":"Told through a series of letters, poems, and journal entries, this is a story about Jake Seveneau, who is a disciple of Jesus Christ and a conscientious objector to war, but who ended up serving as a USAF Medical Technician in the American-Vietnam War. While still in country he was diagnosed with \"combat fatigue\" (an early term for post traumatic stress disorder)\nbut was not sent home for some time after that.\n\nIn order to get through this intense psychological struggle, Jake relied on his deep faith in Christ and on the prayer and love of his friends at home.\nHowever, out of love and respect for them, he refused to reveal the intensity of his struggle to remain above what he calls the \"Black Marshmallow Dimension\". This is a spiritual and mental state of existence where everyone there-in is immersed in an extremely viscous solution which no light of any sort can penetrate, so no one there-in can tell who else is in there with them.\n\nWhile being pulled into that dimension Jake become quite uncertain weather or not he will survive the war or, if he does, what will become of him. Today, after many years of treatment and recovery, Jake is still a Christian: writer, poet, and artist, in spite of suffering from PTSD and other disabilities.\n\nHis goal in composing this work is to share his first hand understanding of war and its aftermath in order to help prevent others from succumbing to it.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0993793401\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0993793401.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Seveneau, Jake\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43434143481917,"sku":"BVV.0993793401.VG","price":10.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/camouflaged-nightmares-a-memoir-of-the-vietnam-war","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
