What is it like to be under fire? How do you know what's right? What can you never forget?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Things They Cannot Say\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning journalist and author Kevin Sites asks these difficult questions of eleven soldiers and marines, who—by sharing the truth about their wars—display a rare courage that transcends battlefield heroics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor each of these men, many of whom Sites first met while in Afghanistan and Iraq, the truth means something different. One struggles to recover from a head injury he believes has stolen his ability to love; another attempts to make amends for the killing of an innocent man; yet another finds respect for the enemy fighter who tried to kill him. Sites also shares the unsettling narrative of his own failures during war—including his complicity in a murder—and the redemptive powers of storytelling that saved him from a self-destructive downward spiral.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148239225072,"sku":"9780062099228","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062099228_p0.jpg?v=1763626453","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062099228","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
