Download or read book He Lost Himself Completely written by Brendan D. Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 200,000 Irish soldiers fought in the First World War, and an estimated 40,000 died in it. Many more were deeply scarred by their experiences, with physical and psychological injuries that impaired their ability to return to military service or participate in civilian life. This book examines the largely forgotten group of Irish soldiers who suffered from shell shock and other mental troubles as a result of the war. In 1916, just two months after the Easter Rising, the Richmond War Hospital was established at Grangegorman in Dublin, on the grounds of the Richmond Asylum, to treat these soldiers. Stammering, mute and paralysed, depressed and haunted by voices and explosions in their minds, 362 soldiers were treated at the War Hospital between 1916 and 1919. This book tells their stories, based on their medical case histories drawn from previously unseen archives of the Richmond War Hospital. These are stories of shell fire and trauma, shell shock and despair, and intense human suffering. But these are also stories of treatment and recovery, stories not just of war and pain, but also of hope - stories that demonstrate the resilience of so many Irish soldiers in the face of the unimaginable trauma of the First World War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christmas in Last Stand brings unexpected gifts to two very different people... Detective Sean Highwater may be one of the famous Highwaters, but he has always felt a half-step off because of the way his agile mind works. Only learning to focus has enabled him to not just survive, but thrive. Elena de la Cova is from a respected and highly regarded founding family, brought up with rather stringent expectations, but right now she is a widow trying to raise a son she doesn't understand. If Last Stand had royalty, in Sean's book it would be elegant Elena. He's willing to help her son as he had been helped, but being that close to Elena scares him to death since he’s been in awe of her for years. Elena is impressed both with the way Sean gets through to her son, and with his appreciation for the Christmas customs of her culture as much as his own. Their perceptions of each other shift, but will the passion that strikes between them be enough to overcome their perceptions of themselves?
