About this Book:

Is the autobiography of Marine Harold Thrasher's experience during the Vietnam War and the guilt that dogged his life every day thereafter. He acted as judge and jury convicting and sentencing himself to life imprisonment for a full blown case of survivor's guilt. Hopefully, the story of how he was set free from his self-made prison will help others tear down their walls of conviction and set them on the road to healing and freedom.
