The Invisible Front: Love and Loss in an Era of Endless War is the unforgettable tale about a military family that lost two sons (one in combat and one to suicide) and channeled their grief into battling the armed forces’ suicide epidemic.
Major General Mark Graham was a decorated 2-star officer whose patriotism and integrity inspired his sons, Kevin and Jeff, to pursue their own military careers. Carol, his wife, was a teacher who held the family together as Mark’s career took them to bases all around the world. After Jeff and Kevin die within 9 months of one another, Kevin commits suicide and Jeff’s killed by this roadside bomb in Iraq, Carol and Mark are astonished at the drastically different responses their sons’ deaths get from the Army.
Kevin’s death is met with silence, while Jeff is lauded as a hero, evidence of the horrible stigma that surrounds suicide and mental illness in the military. Convinced that their sons died fighting totally different battles, Carol and Mark commit themselves to transforming the institution that’s the cornerstone of their whole lives.
This book tells the story of one family's struggle to overcome their grief and find meaning in the face of nearly unimaginable loss.
