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 psycho- logical 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.
