A NEW BOOK ON THE HISTORY OF PTSD FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT
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.
The authors are printing their book to be given away free to veterans in military and VA hospitals, jails, and prisons throughout the United States. To support their work, Lansing and Quist have formed an IRS-approved Minnesota nonprofit corporation, Veterans Empowered, Inc., with the following mission: "To inform, counsel, assist, and convey educational information to U.S. veterans and others who suffer from traumatic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."
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 Present
- Part 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.
