Mind Wars

Mind Wars - Not All Wars are Fought on the Battlefield

Arguably the first mainstream fiction book ever written about the Falklands War, Mind Wars is a story of trauma, redemption and love that challenges the stigma of PTSD and reflects on the tragic price veterans continue to pay for our freedom.

As the Covid 19 pandemic spreads havoc across the world, Frank Drysdale, a Falklands war veteran, is unable to forget an unkept promise he made to a fellow soldier 39 years earlier. Realising his health is failing and time is running out, he embarks on a journey 8000 miles to the other side of the world in a desperate search for the truth.

An original story, Mind Wars is extensively researched and written with help from veterans and islanders. This book is also a timely reminder about PTSD and its deadly and silent contribution to the current global mental health crisis. PTSD continues to be a worldwide problem that requires a worldwide response. As long as society chooses to ignore the stigma of this pernicious and pervasive anxiety disorder and the role it plays in drugs, violence, and social isolation, so too will effective treatment for millions remain out of reach.
