373 S.; Illustr.; 23 cm; kart. Gutes Ex.; Einband geringfügig berieben. - Englisch. - In "Army Of One," Swiss photojournalist Elisabeth Real tells the story of six American soldiers whose lives have been irreversibly altered by the war in Iraq. Five of the veterans have been officially diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). From 2006 to 2012, Elisabeth Real photographed and interviewed these young men and their loved ones, trying to find out what they have been going through and how, in turn, the consequences of their combat experiences have affected their families at home. The war in Iraq officially began on March 19, 2003 and lasted eight and a half years, until December 2011. There were 2.16 million U.S. troops deployed in combat zones. Roughly 4,500 U.S. service members died while serving in Iraq and nearly 30 percent of all returning veterans have PTSD. With this project, Elisabeth Real breaks down these numbers and statistics and focuses on the single soldier: the lone-standing "Army Of One." What story does he want to tell? Many soldiers suffering from PTSD are left completely alone, trying to come to terms with a conflict in which the American public gradually lost interest. They continue to fight a war that they may never win.

"It''s not hard pulling a trigger, it''s not even hard picking up body parts . . . You''re just working. You gotta look at it that way, and you take that home with you."-Jamie McFarland, New Orleans, Louisiana We all know the numbers: two million US troops were deployed to designated combat zones in Iraq. Of them, 4,500 were killed in service. By the most conservative estimates, 30,000 were wounded, but this statistic fails to take into account the most common-and often just as disabling-category of combat-related injuries: post-traumatic stress disorder and related traumatic brain injury. For Army of One, photographer Elisabeth Real looks beyond these numbers to the individual soldier. From 2006 to 2012, Real spent time with six men who served in Iraq and whose lives have been irreversibly altered by the war. Five of the men have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Through intimate photographs and in-depth interviews, Real tells their stories. "Army of One," the since-retired recruitment slogan, suggests that, by taking your future into your hands, you will be as powerful as an army. Yet, for many soldiers, it has come to mean exactly the opposite. A single diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder can cost up to $1.5 million over a soldier''s lifetime, and many are left to suffer this condition alone-the lone warrior fighting a war he or she may never win. Real''s photographs capture the difficulties the men have faced since returning and how, in turn, the consequences of the combat experience have carried over to affect their families and other aspects of their civilian lives.
