"Veterans in Crisis" offers knowledge and hope for millions of veterans, and for others who suffer from the debilitating impact of trauma and PTSD. They show the effects that war has had on soldiers from the beginning of time, well before the Bible—even before the written word—and all the way through the wars of the 20th and 21st centuries: including the ongoing Ukraine and Gaza wars, and the potential for nuclear war in our time.Though much has been published on PTSD, much of it is clinical and technical. "Veterans in Crisis" is unique in its approach and scope because the book is written in the language of young soldiers with PTSD, many high school dropouts with just a GED certificate. The book is organized in three parts with dozens of illustrations and an uncomplicated presentation that tells of the devastating effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) today and over hundreds of centuries of time.Part I – What is PTSD?Part II – History of PTSD from Ancient Times to the PresentPart III – Joe''s Story, an analysis of trauma in Quist''s earlier book: "God''s Angry Man: The Incredible Journey of Private Joe Haan."The book is designed for the typical young teenage GI who was drafted or volunteered to serve in Vietnam or Iraq/Afghanistan and returned home with distressing and perplexing invisible wounds. The book also pays tribute to Lake City''s Tony Hebert who was killed in action serving his country during the 2007 "Surge" in Iraq under General David Petraeus.

Volume One of "Veterans in Crisis: Treating the Unique Needs of Those Who Served" illustrates the effects that war has had on soldiers from the beginning of time, well before the Bible—even before the written word—all the way through the wars of the 20th and 21st centuries, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza and the potential for nuclear war in our time.Volume Two is "Joe''s Story," an analysis of the trauma explored in Colonel Quist''s earlier book: "God''s Angry Man: The Incredible Journey of Private Joe Haan," published in 2010. "Joe''s Story" is a loving tribute to someone author B. Wayne Quist knew as "Uncle Joe," a man who triumphed over trauma and adversity, surviving a life filled with hardship that began at the tender age of seven with the death of his mother and the onset of the Great Depression.Volume Two of "Veterans in Crisis" is a short memoir of World War II Private, Joe Haan. Everyone faces challenges in life. How we choose to confront our challenges varies and often determines the outcome. This unique book focuses on how Private Joe Haan coped with his PTSD—the severe trauma he suffered from an early age at the orphanage, trauma on the hated German farm, relief at CCC Camp, and the trauma of killing another man during fierce fighting in World War II as a decorated private soldier in General George Patton''s Third Army.Through surviving essays, poetry and other writings, "Joe''s Story" reveals one man''s struggle to overcome human tragedy on an epic scale. Growing up poor in St. Paul, Minnesota and orphaned at seven years of age, with time spent as an indentured farmhand to a cruel and sadistic farmer, Joe was very much alone in the world.
