Many people see war as either a victory or a loss, but for some people, war has taught them the true essence of life and good health.
 
Investigative Study Into the Relationship Between Gulf War Syndrome and Well-Being of Persian Gulf War Veterans by Dr. Kevin C Newton is a dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Management in Organizational Leadership at the University of Phoenix. 

This study involved a quantitative approach for data collected from 118 Gulf War veterans, with a response rate of 30% from the 362 participants. In an attempt to understand the Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) and the effects of the syndrome on Gulf War veterans, Dr. Newton embarks on this rigorous journey of data collection and research. 

This quantitative, correlational study focused on Gulf War veterans who served in the Persian Gulf War between 1990 and 1992 in order to determine how well they were physically, socially, and emotionally, as well as their overall well-being. According to Levine, "Gulf War Syndrome, or GWS, is the label given to a variety of medical illnesses suffered by veterans who served in the conflicts in the Persian Gulf region." These symptoms include irritable bowel syndrome, sleep disturbances, night sweats, body aches, and many more.
 
The author was able to quickly compile a significant amount of information on participant characteristics by using an online survey questionnaire. Veterans who participated in the Gulf War between August 1990 and January 1992 were randomly selected for a probability sample.
 
It is crucial to remember that one of the goals of this research is to offer military leaders, medical professionals, and lawmakers a way to find and create new legislation for service connection disabilities that would apply to service members with GWS.
 
One of the revelations that stood out to me the most as I read further was that post-war soldiers who were discharged to civilian life experienced more difficulty adjusting than those who stayed in the military. Also, I got to understand that many veterans' marriages ended in divorce as a result of PTSD. Compared to veterans without PTSD, veterans with PTSD reported additional troubles in their marriages and communicated fewer feelings and thoughts to their spouses (Jordan et al., 1992).
 
The research was insightful and eye-opening. There weren't many severe spelling mistakes, and the author did a great job with the presentation of the facts. I'd rate this piece of work 5 out of 5 stars. The goal of the study was achieved, and many more people will be enlightened. 
 
This work will be beneficial to those who are working on a research project.

In my opinion, this book enlightens people about the war on soldiers as seen in this review, the gulf war syndrome is most common but merely noticeable. I am glad the author took out time in carrying out this study. Great book and a wonderful review.

While many thesis lie on library bookshelves, Dr. Kevin decided to make the results of his study accessible to a wider audience through a book. I will consider reading"Investigative Study Into the Relationship Between Gulf War Syndrome and Well-Being of Persian Gulf War Veterans" by Dr. Kevin C Newton"

War is not an easy topic to discuss, let alone write a study about it. War veterans are one of the most forgotten groups of vulnerable people across the world.

The book "Investigative Study into the Relationship between Gulf War Syndrome and Well-Being of Persian Gulf War Veteran" is likely a scientific or research-based examination of the connection between Gulf War Syndrome and the well-being of veterans of the Persian Gulf War. The study may involve the analysis of medical and psychological data to better understand the symptoms and effects of Gulf War Syndrome and its impact on the lives of those affected.

Gulf War Syndrome? War does leave a whole lot of scars than I initially thought. I'm interested to know what this might be about. Great review.

I find it awkward that the traumatizing effects of war is often swept under the carpet and barely discussed and I’m glad this book addresses it. The victims of this Persian Gulf war now have a voice to reckon with which I’m glad the author decided to document

War has never been good and most of the time the effect it has on people who witnessed it, especially the military, can be everlasting, thereby affecting their relationship with others. This book is indeed an eye-opener. Great review.

Great review and also a very nice book but of everything that caught my eye the book titled had to be the most noticeable thing because it’s so long. One will certainly find it hard to remember.

This is a great review. I believe in a war that they are no victors and soldiers suffer an insurmountable amount of pain in it. The only lesson we learn from this, in my opinion, is that there are other ways to resolve conflicts without blood .
