PFC. Zack Channing prides himself on playing it safe and calculating every move to survive—but when his squad hits Omaha Beach on D-Day, the cautious soldier discovers that sometimes the smartest strategy means charging straight into the teeth of German artillery and machine gun fire.

His crew never forgot him, and their unexpected return transforms his desperate last stand into a rescue.

"Combat Fatigue" is a raw, unflinching look at how the weight of survival can fracture a soldier's mind, even as his body begins to heal.
