N2  - In The Things They Cannot Say, eleven soldiers and marines display a rare courage that transcends battlefield heroics--they share the truth about their wars. For each of them it means something different: one struggles to recover from a head injury he believes has stolen his ability to love, another attempts to make amends for the killing of an innocent man, while yet another finds respect for the enemy fighter who tried to kill him. Award-winning journalist and author Kevin Sites asks the difficult questions of these combatants, many of whom he first met while in Afghanistan and Iraq and others he sought out from different wars. Sites compiles the accounts of soldiers, marines, and their families and friends and also shares the unsettling narrative of his own failures during war--including complicity in a murder--and the redemptive powers of storytelling in arresting a spiraling path of self-destruction.
