Ash and Jess are a winning combination. One tells an amazing and authentic story of men under fire, and its physical and mental antecedents and consequences. The other does the "science bit" but in an easy-to-digest format. Theres also a moving love story as a counterpoint to the bullets and bangs. A tip of the hat to both Professor Sir Simon Wessely FRS, (Regius Chair of Psychiatry, Kings Centre for Military Health Research)
