Lockerbie, Piper Alpha, Hillsborough, the Marchioness, the Herald of Free Enterprise - one after another, the death tolls made the headlines. But the stories of those who lived through these events and survived have yet to be told.;The author of this book interviewed many of the survivors, unearthing inspirational tales of heroism and moving stories of tragedy, as well as discovering a wealth of new findings about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This book details the history of this only recently acknowledged condition, interspersed with first-hand accounts from people who have had it, conquered it or learned how to live with it.
