Leaving War: From Afghanistan's Pech Valley To Hadrian's Wall - A Veteran's Search For Peace

You can leave War, but war never truly leaves you.From the blood-soaked ridgelines of Afghanistan's Pech Valley to the windswept stones of Hadrian's Wall, Leaving War is the haunting and redemptive journey of a soldier trying to make peace with a war that still echoes in his mind.In this unforgettable memoir, Salinas carries readers through the savage experience of combat, the ghosts that follow home, and the long, silent pilgrimage toward healing during his hike on Hadrian's Wall.
