373 pages : 23 cm, For Army of One, photographer Elisabeth Real looks beyond these numbers to the individual soldier. From 2006 to 2012, Real spent time with six men who served in Iraq and whose lives have been irreversibly altered by the war. Five of the men have been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Through intimate photographs and in-depth interviews, Real tells their stories. Army of One,\" the since-retired recruitment slogan, suggests that, by taking your future into your hands, you will be as powerful as an army. Yet, for many soldiers, it has come to mean exactly the opposite. A single diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder can cost up to $1.5 million over a soldier's lifetime, and many are left to suffer this condition alone;the lone warrior fighting a war he or she may never win. Real's photographs capture the difficulties the men have faced since returning and how, in turn, the consequences of the combat experience have carried over to affect their families and other aspects of their civilian lives, Cover title, Timmy. 2004, Hibbing, MN. 2006, Fort Hood, TX. 2006/2007, Iraq. 2007, Hibbing, MN. 2008, Fort Hood, TX. 2010, Chishilm, MN. 2012, Hibbing, MN -- Rollings. 2008, Fort Hood, TX. 2012, Terre Haute, IN -- Tristan. 2008, Fort Hood, TX. 2012, San Antonio, TX -- Tom. 2008, Fort Hood, TX. 2012, Goodyear, AZ -- Epilogue. 2012, New Orleans, LA
