505 0  A brief history of the disorderly conduct of the heart -- 
       War dreams -- We kill ourselves because we are haunted -- 
       How to kill an invisible enemy -- The war on terror in 
       Biblical terms -- I am the voice in the night -- A 
       postscript for the irritable heart. 
520    A report on the long-lasting effects of war on individual 
       and national psyches shares the experiences of veterans 
       working through post-traumatic stress disorder at a 
       Christian rehabilitation camp. 
520    "In 2005 a Chinook helicopter carrying sixteen Special Ops
       soldiers crashed during a rescue mission in a remote part 
       of Afghanistan, killing everyone on board. In that instant,
       machine gunner Caleb Daniels lost his best friend, Kip 
       Jacoby, and seven members of his unit. Back in the US, 
       Caleb begins to see them everywhere--dead Kip, with his 
       Alice in Wonderland tattoos, and the rest of them, their 
       burned bodies watching him. But there is something else 
       haunting Caleb, too--a presence he calls the Black Thing, 
       or the Destroyer, a paralyzing horror that Caleb comes to 
       believe is a demon. Alone with these apparitions, Caleb 
       considers killing himself. There is an epidemic of suicide
       among veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, men and women with
       post-traumatic stress disorder who cannot cope with 
       ordinary life in the aftermath of explosions and carnage. 
       Jennifer Percy finds herself drawn to their stories, 
       wanting to comprehend their experiences and pain. Her 
       subject, Caleb, has been bringing damaged veterans to a 
       Christian exorcism camp in Georgia that promises them 
       deliverance from the war. As Percy spends time with these 
       soldiers and exorcists and their followers--finding their 
       beliefs both repellant and magnetic--she enters a world of
       fanaticism that is alternately terrifying and welcoming. 
       With a jagged lyricism reminiscent of Michael Herr and 
       Denis Johnson, Demon Camp is the riveting true story of a 
       veteran with PTSD and an exploration of the battles 
       soldiers face after the war is over. Percy's riveting 
       account forces us to gaze upon the true human consequences
       of the War on Terror." -- Publisher's description.
