You Just Have to Laugh Podcast | Part 3 with Bob Delaney

Who went undercover to infiltrated the Genovese, Bruno and DiNorscio Crime families, had no idea after three years if he was Bobby Covert (undercover name) or Bob Delaney, and the PTSD that followed

Beginning in 1975 New Jersey State Trooper Bob Delaney went undercover to infiltrated the Genovese, Bruno and DiNorscio Crime families. Knowing all the while that a single slip could get him killed. Ultimately gathering enough evidence to convict 30 members of the Bruno, DiNorsico and Genovese crime families, Project Alpha was a success, but Delaney struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder and traces of Stockholm syndrome after getting too close to those he investigated.

In this third part of this podcast with Bob Delaney, he talks openly and honestly about his PTSD and the great work he is doing to help military, first responder and health care professionals. We talk about his book ‘Surviving the Shadows’ that is an uplifting journey through powerful and inspiring stories―marked by perseverance and personal courage―about an array of people who have suffered directly or indirectly from Post-Traumatic Stress. Delaney introduces you to medical experts who have developed groundbreaking methods in dealing with the disorder, and profiles one-of-a-kind programs around the country devoted to assisting PTSD sufferers.

We also talk about Bob’s soon to be released book, ‘Heroes are Human’ - Lessons in Resilience, Courage and Wisdom from the COVID Front Lines. This book is a must-read for health care workers who have been besieged by the ongoing pandemic, for those who love them, and for any reader wanting to gain a deeper understanding of their immense sacrifices and struggles. Heroes are Human also offers invaluable self-care insights in the face of trauma and gripping first-hand accounts by those thrust into the depths of the crisis.
