Join us September 11th for a discussion about the book What Have We Done by David Wood!

Based on the Huffington Post series that earned David Wood the Pulitzer Prize, What Have We Done exposes the longterm legacy of moral injury that afflicts many soldiers who “do the right thing” during split-second decisions of war-time, but who then are haunted by these events for the rest of their lives because of how these actions conflict with their fundamental values. Featuring portraits of combat veterans and leading mental health researchers, along with Wood’s personal observations of war and the young Americans deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, What Have We Done offers an unflinching look at war and those who volunteer for it: the thrill and pride of service and, too often, the scars of moral injury.
