Overcome: Part One
About this book
“Our fascination with warfare and the warriors who wage it has never ended when the conflict does. It is no coincidence that the oldest extant works of Western literature—Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey—are epic tales of combat and homecoming, and these themes have resonated throughout the millennia since. It is too rarely, however, that the warrior has taken us on this journey himself. In “Overcome: Part One,” Braxton McCoy has given us a glimpse inside the mind and body of a warrior who is wounded and taken unwillingly from the battlefield, and the journey he embarks on as he struggles to mend not only his body, but his mind as well as he discovers what warriors throughout history have always found to be true--returning home, far from being a respite, is simply a war of a different type" -- SSG Chris Beckstrand, US Army
