Two Wars: One Hero's Fight on Two Fronts - Abroad and Within by Nate Self
Former army ranger Nate Self, a hero from the Robert's Ridge rescue in Afghanistan, tells his whole story-from the pulse-pounding battle in the mountains of Afghanistan to the high-stakes battle he has waged against post traumatic stress disorder. This book will become a go-to book for understanding the long-term effects of the war on terror. Thousands of families are fighting this battle, and Nate opens up his life-including his successes, tragedies, struggles with thoughts of suicide-to show how his faith and his family pulled him through.
Nate Self is the former Ranger Captain who risked his life in Afghanistan in the battle of Takur Ghar (translated "Tall Mountain"), also known as the Rescue on Roberts Ridge. For his heroism, Nate Self was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, and the Purple Heart. His story was featured on the front page of the "Wall Street Journal," on NBC's "Dateline," and in other books. He has been celebrated and examined as a model of exemplary leadership both in combat and in civilian life. Nate lives in Texas with his wife and their four children.
Take care.
