Within The Warrior

About the Book

The book chronicles the events behind the breakdown of a marriage and how those events were based on a way of thinking founded on childhood tragedies and experiences. The work also chronicles the impact of those tragedies upon loved ones and friends, when the help necessary for liberation from a life of tragedy through proper counseling was not sought. Recorded within the book, is one man's struggle for redemption and reconciliation, of all that he lost or threw away, once the decision was reached and sought to bring an end to everything around him through a cycle of self-destruction. A cycle that was brought to a culminating point, on the modern day battlefields of Iraq.
