Jonathan Shay

In this strikingly original and groundbreaking book, Dr. Shay examines the psychological devastation of war by comparing the soldiers of Homer's Iliad with Vietnam veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Although the Iliad was written twenty-seven centuries ago it has much to teach about combat trauma, as do the more recent, compelling voices and experiences of Vietnam vets.

In this ambitious follow-up to Achilles in Vietnam, Dr. Jonathan Shay uses the Odyssey, the story of a soldier's homecoming, to illuminate the pitfalls that trap many veterans on the road back to civilian life.Seamlessly combining important psychological work and brilliant literary interpretation with an impassioned plea to renovate American military institutions, Shay deepens our understanding of both the combat veteran's experience and one of the world's greatest classics.

Excellent Book

In the postcolonial Andean nation of San Cristo, the hegemony of the ruling Five Families went unchecked for centuries. These “Great Ones” presided over a corrupt system of caste and exploitation that preserved the Families’ power and privilege, freeing them to impoverish and prey upon the indigenous Inca and mixed-race mestizos. Among the rich elite, Miguel Busto, “the Good One,” was that rare exception, a just, compassionate man. Like her father, Miguel’s vibrant, clear-eyed, open-hearted daughter was an anomaly, a Great One who spoke the language of the Inca, walked among them, and won their hearts. Caterina Busco — rebel leader, healing goddess, passionate lover — reshaped her country and gave birth to a legend.
