The beginnings of Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing were born in Zworestine's experiences as a fighting medic in the Rhodesian Bush War in 1976. The lessons and his insights grew as he struggled through his journey forwards and the many overwhelming challenges that faced him. These were further consolidated by his experience running marathons and ultramarathons where he was challenged to redefine himself at the edges of his discomfort. But perhaps most of all, the forming of this book began in 2002 when he began a life changing journey working with veterans and current serving.

The core vision of Which Way Is Your Warrior Facing, is to support Veterans and current serving to manage the complex demands of transitioning into civilian life. Its core mission is to ensure that no veteran ever has to come home to die.
