Soldier's Heart: Being the Story of the Enlistment and Due Service of the Boy Charley Goddard in the First Minnesota Volunteers by Gary Paulsen

5.0

This book isn't perfect. But having known soldiers who suffer from severe PTSD, I can say that it's accurate. And after reading the author's note and finding it's based on a true story, that sealed the deal on how special this book is. Everyone studying the American civil war or military history, psychology, or who simply knows someone who has served in the armed forces should read this book. It's a story to be haunted by and treasure.
