Description:The author of the Anthology Trilogy and the critically acclaimed book and podcast Welcome to the Machine returns with a new collection of fiction, short stories, essays, and non-fiction that explores the momentous events of the first quarter of the new American century. What was it like to be in the military when 9/11 happened? What does it feel like to sit across an interview table from a convicted terrorist and war criminal? How have our once great cities in America fallen into such disrepair? Are the internet and social media actually the source of many of our problems rather than a solution? Can renewal and healing be found much easier by getting away from stifling cities and crowds? Can we ever truly go back to that town we once loved? Do we actually grow and learn more from loss than winning? Is America at a social and existential crossroads? What happens in combat, and what is the truth rather than the glorified version? Why do some people who have achieved things at the highest levels disappear from public life afterward? What is it like to be on alert on a forward operating base half way around the world from your family on Christmas Eve? And recent studies show that of the 3.3 million military veterans who served in the post-9/11 wars, 1.15 million (35 percent) suffer from the insidious affliction of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The cost of this service to our nation and the bill that must be paid is already coming due. What are we as a society going to do to take care of the veterans who fought these wars?From 9-11 to the wars fought in its aftermath and the heavy costs to our veterans, to the outdoors, to sports and the inner thought processes of individual athletes at the top levels, to current events, to the contrasting mythology and actual state of our American cities and small towns, and to many other places in between, Voices in the Wilderness issues a stark and probing series of observations and will resonate with our veterans and anyone concerned about the state of America in 2025.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
