Description
The Madness: A Memoir of War, Fear and PTSD
This powerful and intensely personal book is a reckoning of the damage done to the author, who has struggled with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for many years. As a journalist, he has reported from some of the world's most conflict-ridden regions, but his experiences have taken a profound toll on his mental health.
Keane's book is a survivor's story, drawn from lived experience, told with honesty, courage and an open heart. It is a powerful exploration of the struggle to recover from injury, addiction and mental breakdown, and a thought-provoking examination of what drives people to return to the wars despite the risks.
