From the Sands of Kandahar

A war story unlike any other, because the first battle began long before the battlefield.

Before Afghanistan, there was another war, one fought in silence.

In From the Sands of Kandahar, Canadian veteran David Wiseman delivers a raw and deeply human memoir of trauma, truth, and transformation.

From a childhood marked by violence and survival to the frontlines of Kandahar, Wiseman reveals how unhealed wounds of the past followed him into combat, and how the fight to come home would become the hardest mission of all.

Haunted by PTSD, mefloquine toxicity, and the betrayal of institutions meant to protect, Wiseman writes with unflinching honesty about the invisible injuries of service and the quiet violence of post-deployment life. But within the pain lies a story of awakening, of faith, therapy, and the sacred work of rebuilding.

Part war memoir, part survival guide, From the Sands of Kandahar is both a confession and a call to courage. Through vivid storytelling and lived experience, Wiseman shares the tools that helped him heal, offering hope for every veteran, survivor, and family still living in the aftermath of their own war.
