In PTSDiaries: Fight, readers are introduced to Brian Schoenborn, an all-American boy who dedicates his life to serving his country in the Marine Corps infantry. One tragic night, however, Brian and a friend are drugged and raped by another serviceman. Despite being diagnosed with PTSD from MST, Brian is forced to endure months of isolation and harassment from his unit before turning to drugs and getting kicked out with an Other Than Honorable discharge.

​

As Brian struggles to come to terms with the trauma he has endured, he embarks on a decades-long battle against the military and his demons to seek the mental health benefits—and vindication—he desperately needs. Through the trials and tribulations of his journey, Fight offers an unprecedented perspective on the effects of military sexual trauma and toxic masculinity, the need for open conversation about sexual assault in the military, and the strength it takes to persevere.

 

A must-read for anyone interested in the military, mental health, and the fight for justice, PTSDiaries: Fight is an unflinching, thought-provoking look at one man's journey to find healing and closure.
