Historia
Maj. Gen. Gregg Martin cut a striking figure in the Army: athletic, quick witted, devout, and studious, he was a natural leader. Thanks to his engineering and leadership knowhow, Martin was chosen to lead the thousands of combat engineers who paved the way for 100,000 Army troops to battle their way to Baghdad in 2003. Only years later would he learn how the pressure of organizing dozens of simultaneous life-or-death missions each day altered the biochemistry of his brain. Bipolar General offers a candid account of Martin's personal journey with undiagnosed mental illness.

This book can help save lives

Great read/listen on Audible. This is a phenomenal contribution to better understanding bipolar disorder from a first-hand account. It provides great insights from family and colleagues who provide their own perspectives on Gregg's descent into the disorder and recovery. It provides clues on how to potentially detect signs in others and how to get help. Had this book been written three years ago, I might have been better able to see the signs in my son's West Point roommate and been able to intervene before he took his own life. I served with Gregg Martin as a subordinate in 2010 and was witness to his hypomania which enabled him to be extremely effective...until it didn't. I did not learn of his later struggles and path to recovery until 2018. It took courage to write this book and be so open but he did so in order to help save others. Read or listen!!
