As advances in field medicine markedly reduce the number of deaths on the battlefield, more veterans are coming home with severe injuries. These soldiers carry both visible and invisible scars of war, and their readjustment back into civilian life is often complicated by the psychological trauma and physical wounds sustained in battle. This work takes an unflinching look at the reality of warfare and disability, featuring interviews with some of the country's most prominent disabled veterans, and seeks to build a new bridge between military and civilian cultures in the United States, to inspire and important dialogue about how Americans treat their veterans, and to impart a message of compassion and mutual understanding.
