  • Don Quixote: A Demonstration of Veteran Resilience in Literature
    Darbous Marthaller, Nan (2022-10)
    Veteran resilience is demonstrated in the novel Don Quixote by the author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra who was a military veteran as well as a prisoner. In his novel, Cervantes draws on his own battle and captivity experience, weaving it into the tale of Don Quixote. Buried in this work of fiction is the lived experience of a resilient veteran who returns to civilian life disabled, yet through his writing provides insight into military service.
