288 p. ; 23 cm. Pulitzer Prize finalist David Philipps brings to life the chilling story of how today’s American heroes are slipping through the fingers of society—with multiple tours of duty and inadequate mental-health support creating a crisis of PTSD and a large-scale failure of veterans to reintegrate into society. Following the frightening narrative of the 506th Infantry Regiment—who had rebranded themselves as the Lethal Warriors after decades as the Band of Brothers—he reveals how the painful realities of war have multiplied in recent years, with tragic outcomes for America’s soldiers, compounded by an indifferent government and a shrinking societal safety net.
