World War II hero, Lt. Edward Dahlgren’s PTSD is the subject of the latest book by his daughter, North Berwick resident Susan Dahlgren Daigneault.

“In the Shadow of a Mountain: A Soldier’s Struggle with PTSD” relates the story of the price paid by Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Edward Dahlgren and his family, following his combat experiences in Europe with the 36th Infantry Division.  It is a timely manuscript in that it details Dahlgren’s struggles with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, a condition affecting many of our military veterans returning from war zones today.  It is a book that will help readers to know about the devastation of war and how we must always provide care and comfort for our returning veterans.
