They Were Soldiers: How the Wounded Return from America's Wars: The Untold Story

Ann Jones shines a much-needed light on the dead, mutilated, brain-damaged, drug-addicted, suicidal, homicidal casualties of our distant wars, taking us on a stunning journey from the devastating moment an American soldier is first wounded in rural Afghanistan to the return home.
