Tales from the Blast Factory: A Brain Injured Special Forces Green Beret's Journey Back from the Brink (Unabridged‪)‬

From the war on the ground to the war within.

In August, 2013, Special Forces Green Beret Andrew Marr returns home from another deployment a quietly broken man. Enduring the last of many traumatic brain injuries, Marr works as a breacher for his Special Forces team and finds himself in close proximity to a number of explosive blasts.

During Tales from the Blast Factory, Marr's "silent wound" begins to manifest in radical physical and behavioral changes that derail him, resulting in a desperate search for help. Marr called upon the initiative and determination that had served him as a warrior - and eventually triumphed with the help of an innovative doctor. As thousands of veterans, athletes, accident victims, and other TBI sufferers wallow in the wake of inadequate treatment - and in many tragic cases, turn to suicide - this book offers new hope and explains the science behind this very specific kind of healing and why conventional protocols fail.
