"Moving a Nation to Care is a grassroots call designed to bring awareness of our government's shameful treatment of soldiers suffering with PTSD to the attention of the American public. In addition to presenting the heart-breaking personal stories of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, this book is the most comprehensive resource to date for concerned citizens who want to understand the complex political, social and health-related aspects of PTSD, with an eye toward "moving a nation to care.""-- From the book jacket.
