They Were Soldiers: How the Wounded Return from America's Wars: The Untold Story
At 73, having spent years focusing on the civilian toll
from Washington’s Afghan War, Ann Jones embedded on an American forward
operating base to experience what that war was like for the U.S. troops
in the field. The next year, she began following grievously wounded
American soldiers from the moment they came off the battlefield all the
way back home. Her journey proved to be nothing short of an odyssey.
Despite all the talk in this country about our “wounded warriors,” no
other book gives us a more powerful sense of the genuine cost of war to
Americans.
