INTRODUCTION

This book expands an insider perspective on what has been called the “war on terrorism.” My objective is to present how this war on terrorism, which has survived four executive Democratic and Republican administrations frames serious complex trauma and grief syndromes in police, public safety, and military professionals. I focus on operationally defining the Military and Public SafetyCombat Terrorism Complex Trauma Syndromes using Eco-Ethological Existential Analysis while initiating the healing process with one officer-patient at a time.
