Life was always a struggle for Dwight Duke Moore. He grew up in an abusive family with a controlling father and ran away from home at seventeen. Joining the US Special Forces and serving in Vietnam finally gave Duke a sense of purpose and camaraderie, but war leaves no man unscathed.
Despite some concerns from his superior officers, Duke believed that the ease with which he pulled the trigger and killed the enemy was something to be proud of. The young lieutenant felt responsible for keeping his team safe, and he did so while exacting an eye-for-an-eye type of justice.
After returning to civilian life, Duke saw himself as an American hero, but his soul was tortured. Whether because of his abusive childhood or the wartime horrors he'd witnessed, the trauma and voices of his past haunted Duke mercilessly. He desperately needed help, but was there anyone he could trust?
In this gripping, thought-provoking novel, Duke's story unfolds from sessions with an army doctor who treats him for PTSD. Raw and intriguing, Last Shot is a vivid portrayal of war's lasting and sometimes crippling effects on the mental health of our nation's veterans.
