520    "Fighting was a practiced routine for Lieutenant Ivan 
       Castro. But when a mortar round struck the rooftop of his 
       sniper's post in Iraq, he found himself in a battle more 
       difficult than even he could have imagined. The direct hit
       killed two other soldiers and nearly claimed Castro's life
       as well. Mangled by shrapnel and badly burned, Castro was 
       medevac'd to Germany more dead than alive. His lungs were 
       collapsed. He couldn't hear. One eye had been blown out, 
       the nerve to the other severed.  In the weeks and months 
       that followed, Castro would find that physical darkness 
       was nothing compared to the emotional darkness of loss and
       despair. Desperate for a reason to live, he eventually 
       fought his way back to health through exercise and a 
       single-minded goal: running a marathon. Once he set his 
       course, there was no stopping him. Stubborn to a point 
       that at times bordered on insanity, he managed not only to
       recover but to return to active duty. Since 2007, he has 
       run over two dozen marathons, including the Boston 
       Marathon in 2013, where he was one of the runners diverted
       when the bombs exploded.  Today, Castro he helps prepare 
       soldiers for combat, working exactly as if he were 
       "sighted." This frankly told account of his struggle 
       through adversity, the highs and lows and the always bumpy
       road in between, is a story of hope and perseverance 
       against the odds: an Unbroken for the present generation,"
       --Baker & Taylor.
