More about Soldier’s Heart:
Taking its name from a World War I–era term for a condition akin to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Elizabeth D. Samet’s memoir offers insights into America’s newest generation of cadets. In each chapter she reflects on a rich trove of literature, from Homer’s ancient epics to the work of modern and contemporary authors. For many of her students, reading brings solace and inspiration. For others, it sparks an examination of doubts or fears. In all cases, Samet’s courses provide exhilarating arenas for the young men and women of West Point to explore life and language.
