Writer's Digest critiques Soldier's Heart

The author's accounts of his war experiences are powerfully and engagingly written. He well captures the horror of war (both its outward and inward battles), its long-term effects on those who live through it, and the nightmare of seeking to integrate those experiences with the normalcy of everyday living upon a soldier's return to civilian life. The most impressive thing about this book is the author's ability through his writing to "show" the reader the emotional and psychological turmoil soldiers experience both in their adjustment to war and their readjustment upon return. This author writes very well.

AMAZON.COM REVIEW

5 out of 5 Stars Unconventional Excellence!!!

Lee Burkins has produced a remarkable work that will assure a vital education to those genuinely concerned with the true prices of warfare. Those intelligent enough to purchase his teachings/reflections will acquire a visceral knowledge of a journey that few survive let alone possess the courage and clarity to document. Soldier's Heart is a masterpiece and parties claiming to be military historians without turning its pages are simply fooling themselves. Please read other reviews about this book at Amazon.Com. You'll get the idea.

Go to Soldier's Heart!
