HuffPost's Latest e-Book: Beyond the Battlefield: The War Goes on for the Severely Wounded

Arianna Huffington, Huffington Post

Through his portraits of wounded soldiers, their loved ones and their caretakers, and through his portrayals of the dangerous conditions in which they serve and the trying world to which they return, David Wood has crafted an immensely valuable mosaic of a vital segment of American life.

I'm delighted to announce HuffPost's latest e-book, Beyond The Battlefield: The War Goes on for the Severely Wounded, by David Wood. As HuffPost's senior military correspondent, David spent nine months speaking with severely wounded veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition to soldiers and their families, he interviewed more than two dozen military surgeons, combat medics, rehabilitation therapists, prosthetics engineers, nurses, operating room technicians and medical officials at the Pentagon, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and military hospitals and treatment facilities across the country.
