Charles Sacks grew up Jewish in the post-World War II era in Cleveland, Ohio, in a secure middle-class neighborhood. After completing his medical and psychiatric training, he was drafted into the army as a division psychiatrist. While stationed in Vietnam, he learned to deal with the stresses of war on his patients and himself. He earned a bronze star with oak leaf cluster for his service. After the military, he became a unit chief at the Washington VA Hospital and a clinical assistant professor at Georgetown University for twenty years. Once he retired from practicing psychiatry, Sacks became motivated to tell his personal story after having been inspired by President Joseph Biden's public admittance that he, too, is a stutterer. Now Sacks shares his storied life with others to demonstrate how he coped with his challenge and came to be himself. Stuttering Through Life With a Stop in Vietnam is a brutally honest and engaging memoir that will help you see the world through a fresh new lens.
