Why Soldiers Miss War

"This will appeal more to readers looking for tales of world travel and war zones" ~Publishers Weekly

"The stories Peterson shares are top-notch and engaging as soldiers and veterans grapple with big questions while seeking meaning in life and coping with war and PTSD." ~Booklist

"What is it about war that soldiers miss? A provocative book that weaves together a wide range of stories focusing exclusively on war itself and what it means coming home and confronting another struggle all veterans share - the search for happiness." ~Leatherneck Magazine

"This book will be devoured by those who have experienced war, and who are still trying to figure out war’s meaning and war’s effect on their lives. This book will also provide insight for those who have never experienced war, but who want to know about the sacrifices that are shouldered by a small part of our fellow citizens who wear the uniform and who serve our nation. Finally, this book offers a valuable and moving insight into what it’s like to physically come back from war—and how, as life goes on, war always retains its place in our minds, hearts, and souls, until it is replaced and shoved aside by something more important.” ~General Mark Hertling
