Summary	Featuring portraits of combat veterans and leading mental health researchers, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist presents a meticulously researched and deeply personal look at war and those who volunteer for it, and, too often, receive the scars of moral injury.
	Most Americans are now familiar with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and its prevalence among troops. In this groundbreaking new book, David Wood examines the far more pervasive yet less understood experience of those we send to war: moral injury, the violation of our fundamental values of right and wrong that so often occurs in the impossible moral dilemmas of modern conflict. It is a call to listen intently to our newest generation of veterans, and to ponder the inevitable human costs of putting American "boots on the ground" as new wars approach. -- adapted from book jacket.
