Veteran Comes Back
About this book
Is he the man you knewâor a stranger? Is he bitter? hopeful? disillusioned? What sort of husband, father, son, will he make? Will you let demagogues exploit and subvert him as they have done elsewhere? How can we help him find the road back?
Will he sell apples and pawn his medals, or will we assure him a job? What of the disabledâhow can we restore him to usefulness? Will we make the grim mistake of spending too muchâtoo lateâand for the wrong people? These and other questions are answered in this bookâa realistic discussion of America's gravest social problem.âŚ
The Veteran's Future is in your handsâand Your Future is in his hands!
THIS book is written not only to help the veteran adjust to society, but also to help the veteran's father, mother, wife, sister, sweetheart, to understand his state of mind. For it is only through a sympathetic understanding of what he has really become through war, that it is possible to help him at all. This book deals with such concrete problems as: the veteran's marital relationsâdealing with the crippled veteran at homeâwar brides and G.I. babiesâveterans organizationsâre-educating veteransâthe lures of demagogues to capture the veteran's voteâhis struggle to get a satisfactory jobâthe delicate question of treating psychoneurotic veteransâand many others.âŚ
This book does not presume to give all the answers. The author hopes that it will be a firebell in the nightâto wake up America now to the veteran problem before it descends upon us in all its fury.
