02.10: The Evil Hours: A Biography of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

2015-01-16 00:05:23| Powells Books Events Calendar

David J. Morris's The Evil Hours (Eamon Dolan/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) is a moving, eye-opening exploration of post-traumatic stress disorder. Over a decade into the United States' "global war on terror," PTSD afflicts as many as 30 percent of the conflict's veterans. But the disorder's reach extends far beyond the armed forces. In total, some 27 million Americans are believed to be PTSD survivors. Yet to many of us, the disorder remains shrouded in mystery, secrecy, and shame. Now, Morris — a war correspondent, former Marine, and PTSD sufferer himself — has written the essential account of this illness. Through interviews, forays into the scientific, literary, and cultural history of the illness, and memoir, Morris crafts a moving work that will speak not only to those with the condition and their loved ones, but also to all of us struggling to make sense of an anxious and uncertain time.
