Master Sergeant Gordon L. Ewell is a combat engineer and expert in the tactics and techniques the enemy used in Iraq to assemble, disguise, and detonate deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs). He became part of the first special two-solider team whose mission was to find and render safe the IEDs, before they could unleash their deadly force upon other soldiers, convoys, civilians, and local civilian commuters during the War in Iraq. He performed fifty-nine dangerous missions, coauthored a first-of-its-kind manual used for the training of special teams that would have the mission of finding IEDs, was blown-up six different times, and saved countless lives. He received the Bronze Star Medal for demonstrating personal courage and conviction on multiple occasions by continually performing his duties while under enemy attack, and the Purple Heart Medal for wounds received while engaged in combat during the war. Though permanently disabled, he continues to fight. A Lifetime at War is more than just an incredible and inspiring personal account of his road to recovery. Once again Ewell is using his expertise and experiencethis time to help wounded warriors navigate the hell of recovery. He helps us all to understand that while the War in Iraq may have ended on December 15, 2011, for the thousands of soldiers severely wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan, their war will never end.

Most histories of wounded Civil War veterans construe them as feminized men whose manhood has suffered due to their inability to provide for and raise families or engage in business. Wounded for Life complicates this picture by examining how seven veterans--six soldiers and one physician--coped with their changed bodies in their postwar lives. Through these intimate stories, author Robert D. Hicks looks at the veteran's body as shaped by the trauma of the battlefield and hospital and the construction of a postwar identity in relation to that trauma. Through his research, he reveals the changing social circumstances of the late 19th and early 20th centuries as they impacted the traumatized veteran's body. This engaging book is equal parts Civil War history, disability and gender history, and the history of the body that discloses the impact of war on a wounded warrior.

A self-help book with real life instances of a girl (ME!). I believe the capacity of men and women to rise above adversity is one of the biggest accomplishments of the human race. It reminds us never to give up because having the spirit to fight is what truly matters. This spirit is very powerful because it speaks to the potential that is inside all of us. I am fortunate to have survived my fatal addictions. Only a couple of years ago I was a distraught addict on the fast track to self-destruction. I was busy living life from the outside instead of living it from the inside out. But, I successfully endured a very long recovery and now I live everyday like it's my last. I live to make the world a little brighter and people a little happier (I know it's cliche). I choose to use all my strength today because I may not have the same strength tomorrow. I also strongly believe that as you heal yourself you aid in the healing of the world. A world with no guarantees requires us to live everyday like our last. All my experiences have pushed me to clean up my act and remove all my weaknesses. All our misfortunes are nothing but blessings in disguise. They are our opportunities for growth and transformation. So, embrace them for the gifts they are. Remember, you are the king or the queen of your life. If you choose to play your biggest game as a human being, and I know you will, then this is a path that you too must walk.

This uncompromising biography tells the story of a wounded D-Day veteran, a deserter, a violent drunk, a loving father who abandoned his first child, a boxer and brawler, a wife-beater, a bigamist, and a passionately romantic lover. It is also, most importantly, the story of a poet. Vernon Scannell wrote some of the finest poetry to come out of the Second World War. He won the Chomondeley Prize and the Heinemann Award, and for half a century he was acknowledged as one of the leading poets in the country. His Collected Poems are still in print, and his poetry for both adults and children is regularly anthologised and appears on English Literature examination papers. Scannell died in 2007, and Walking Wounded draws on his personal diaries, poems, and other writings to offer the first detailed study of this complex, controversial, and occasionally tragic life. For the first time, the women who loved him tell their stories; his children describe growing up with a father who was funny, affectionate, sometimes violent, and often not there at all; and his fellow poets, including Seamus Heaney, Anthony Thwaite, Alan Brownjohn and Kit Wright, speak of the dedicated stylist, assured performer, and occasionally roistering drunk that they knew. Scannell was seriously wounded in Normandy shortly after D-Day, but the book looks at the deeper, mental scars from the War that he bore all his life, and of the suffering they caused to him and the people who loved him. It is an important book about an important poet, which investigates where poetry comes from, and the terrible price that sometimes has to be paid for it.

Wounded Minds is a lynch pin for those veterans who believe no one cares about their past, and functions as a curtain for society to step through in order to see and feel the veterans trauma first hand. It is about the dark plateau in the mind that the warriors of our country are exiled to after they are subjugated to trauma and suffering that is created by physical injuries and horrific images of combat as they continue to carry out the mission assigned to them, even as they are tending to their wounded. It is a vehicle that will better enable our culture to appreciate some of the loss of direction that can occur in later years to our young people involved in Afghanistan and Iraq. All carry the silent burden that has been forever imprinted into their memories, but combat veterans will now be able to look at themselves and recognize a common bond of "I've been there too....." Not all wounds suffered in combat are physical and PTSD that began for the author in 1983 would tear at his mind for twenty two years and shove him to the abyss of suicide before being diagnosed in 2004, so that he could begin receiving treatment and medication for the torment that the injury to his left leg was causing, something for which employers and relatives all those years had construed as an 'attitude' rather than an underlying serious neurological problem from wounds. The gravity of Wounded Minds is such that the story will have positive consequences for everyone who knows a combat veteran, and be able to bridge the communication gap to that person, in particular if they are stuck on the edifice that has become 'The dark plateau of PTSD'.

This book examines the Vietnam Survivor: a broad category of persons, military and civilian, negatively affected by the Vietnam experience- and sometimes in unexpected ways, positively affected. The book examines the lives of four men: one a combat Marine in Vietnam, another serving in the Army, a Conscientious Objector, and a War Resistor. Although on opposite ends of the political spectrum, each of the four were traumatized by the war experience. These men are candid about rage, emotional numbing, substance abuse, psychosexual confusion, and depression. Although the specifics of the men's traumas are different, how they responded to trauma, and how American society responded to them, were often remarkably similar.

For many years, author Deborah Leigh Alexander lived in denial. It was hard for her to understand how the emotional abuse she suffered during her childhood affected her adult life. In this memoir, Alexander takes a step back and relives her childhood in order to break free of the emotional bondage and to forgive, heal, and grow. A Wounded Daughter’s Survival recounts her personal and family history and comes to terms with the dysfunction that permeated her relationship with her parents. Alexander narrates how she lived through many damaging and sometimes violent encounters in her formative years, including overwhelming feelings of rejection by her parents. Using personal anecdotes to illustrate how God has worked in her life, she shares her experiences with her faith and how she found comfort and guidance in the Bible and through prayer. This true and personal account sheds light on how emotional abuse truly damages lives. By sharing her experiences of survival, discovery, and healing, Alexander provides hope that a functional future is indeed possible.
