Reviews for The Untold War
"Starred Review. At a time when suicide rates among veterans is increasing sharply, this empathic examination of 'the moral weight that soldiers carry on their shoulders' is essential reading." "Humaniz[es] soldiers by enabling us to see them as individuals with distinct, particular responses to psychological and physical wounds."
