About This Book
Pulitzer Prize–winning military journalist David Wood examines the concept of moral injury—the deep psychological wound inflicted when soldiers participate in or witness actions that violate their own moral code—in the context of the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through compelling portraits of veterans, chaplains, and therapists, Wood argues that moral injury is a distinct and largely unaddressed crisis. Winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Nonfiction.
