{"product_id":"war-story-a-memoir","title":"War Story: A Memoir","description":"Every soldier has a war story.\nSteven Elliott’s opens with the death of American hero Pat Tillman by “friendly fire” in Afghanistan―when Army Ranger Elliott pulled the trigger, believing he and his fellow soldiers were firing on the enemy.\n\nTormented by remorse and PTSD in the aftermath of Tillman’s death, Elliott descended into the depths of guilt, alcoholism, and depression; lost his marriage and his faith; and struggled to stay alive. The war that began on foreign soil had followed him home.\n\nA must-read for veterans and their loved ones, War Story is an explosive look at the chaos of war―and the battle for life in its aftermath. It confronts some of life’s biggest questions: Why do we choose to fight for a country or a cause? What happens when the cost of that fight overwhelms and destroys? Can we forgive and be forgiven? How do we find hope? At its core, War Story is a dramatic personal encounter with war and faith, love and tragedy, and ultimate renewal.\n\nAll of the author’s proceeds from the writing of this book will be donated to organizations serving the mental health needs of the active duty and veteran community.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1496429923\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1496429923.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Elliott, Steven|Grossman, Dave\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: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
