Quotes

"The book largely does what good books should: whisper secrets to the world. . . . There are, of course, no easy answers, but Sites highlights the importance of treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and sharing stories. Most importantly, he forces readers, those average civilians, to look at what war does to people and think about whether it's always worth it."


- San Francisco Chronicle
"The harrowing accounts detail the experiencesof 11 US soldiers and Marines who have been ravaged by modern warfare and its psychological aftermath. What makes Kevin's reporting unique and essential is that it didn't stop on the battlefield-he followed his subjects home."


- Vice
"Absolutely brilliant! Kevin Sites is a masterful storyteller. The Things They Cannot Say gives the reader an unprecedented view into the heart, mind and soul of American Warriors from every generation. A stunning, courageous work of impeccable depth and candor, written by a man who has seen more war than anyone I've ever met. This book is a must read for every American."


- -Sean Parnell, New York Times Bestselling Author of Outlaw Platoon
A vivid set of portrats of modern combatants written in prose taht moves with speed and heat."


- Edward Tick, Ph. D., codirector of Solider's heart and authof of War and Soul
"Riveting and emotionally raw...These gripping stories...are evidence of a profound desire to heal."


- Publishers Weekly
"This is tough stuff, as many of the experiences recounted here are graphic, cruel,
and bloody, but they offer an intimate look at the costs of war on a personal, elemental level."


- Booklist
"In sensitive, honest prose, the author emphasizes that this is a book about hope. An important book for warriors and the communities that send them to war."


- Kirkus Reviews
A gritty look at postwar distress, including veterans' personal accounts, by a journalist with his own intimate perspective on the subject.
