Langsomt kommer Plessner til bevidsthed. Det er mørkt, og han befinder sig i en havareret bil med blodet dryppende fra et sår i panden. Han aner ikke, hvor han er. På passagersædet sidder en livløs kvinde, og i en rygsæk finder han en harddisk og en håndfuld reagensglas med vandprøver. Over ham summer himlen pludselig af helikoptere. Lyskegler skærer sig igennem skoven. Instinktivt fornemmer han, at det ikke bare er et biluheld, han er vågnet op fra, men en menneskejagt. Og at han selv og kvinden er byttet.Plessner er blevet kontaktet af en kvinde fra Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste. Hun har tilbudt ham et anseeligt beløb for at tage til det nordlige Rusland og afholde et overlevelseskursus for en samling prominente rigmænd – og ved samme lejlighed hjembringe en særlig genstand fra det fjerne russiske område. Plessners mavefornemmelse bød ham egentlig at sige nej til opgaven, men hans ubændige eventyrlyst og en flad tegnebog har gjort, at han har trodset rationale og instinkt.
Anden Verdenskrig, Vietnam, Algeriet, Balkan, Afghanistan og Ukraine. Soldater fra forskellige krige og konflikter mødes på tværs af generationer og verdensdele i Soldaterhjerte for at svare på: Hvorfor går vi i krig? Hvad gør det ved os som mennesker? Og hvordan vender vi hjem til civilisationen igen? Svarene rummer ord som fædrelandskærlighed, overlevelse og rastløshed. Dødsangst, kedsomhed og kammeratskab. Fortabthed og tomhed. Og ikke mindst en samhørighed blandt dem, der har været derude, hvor man er dybt afhængige af hinanden for at overleve. Journalist og tidligere soldat Emil Arenholt Mosekjær har brugt flere år på at interviewe veteraner fra forskellige krige. Han søger at forstå ikke blot sine egne oplevelser fra Afghanistan, men også hvorfor de skabte et særligt bånd til andre soldater verden over – fra den 25-årige kvinde fra fronten ved Donbas til den 94-årige veteran fra befrielsen af Frankrig i 1945.

After serving a 1 1/2 year tour in Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division and surviving a total of 8 years, 9 months and 21 Days in the US Army, Russ Warriner learned he had PTSD. Dealing with the Combat Memories he calls Combat Demons is a lifelong struggle. Writing about my combat life and the aftermath has become one of his outlets. Becoming a life member of many veteran groups as well as starting a group that served in my type of unit and starting a POW/MIA weekend event has served me well to deal with the demons. Everyone who has PTSD deals with these demons in their own way. If this book can help at least one person to understand PTSD or help them deal with their demons, I feel it was worth the effort I put into writing it.

It is the belief of traditional Indian nationalists that the events of 1857 are not a series of isolated and uncoordinated mutinies. In fact, it was a war of idependence for achieving freedom.It is a turning point in which the nationalist feeling, long suppressed by the British occupation flared into violence. It convinced the Britishers that India could not be held at leisure and fear of another mutiny continued to haunt the British rulers right till 1947. That is why a lot of people consider the mutiny of 1857 as the "First war of Independence".

This memoir is based on handwritten letters, cards, and newspaper clippings sent between Carole and Bill Wagener from September 1968 to August 1969. The vernacular is accurate to that time, using words that are no longer politically correct. The letters, based on actual events, may have been compressed. Please note there was a time lapse between these letters due to a lag in the mail. Some names and identifying characteristics were changed to protect privacy, and some dialogue was recreated. The remainder of the book is based on Carole and Bill's memories to the best of their recollection over time. Because this is a war story, some chapters are very graphic and may not suit those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other trauma-related disorders. In addition, the book contains some offensive language and sexual references. Finally, there are several military terms, and various German, French, and Vietnamese phrases mentioned in this book. These terms are defined in the glossary.
