Publisher's Synopsis
They were once known by the famous moniker, 'Band of Brothers.' Now, 60 years later, this same unit calls itself the "Lethal Warriors," having seen the worst of the violence in Iraq. The notorious army unit from Fort Carson, Colorado is plagued by PTSD and its members, misdiagnosed or untreated since returning from war, embarked on drug-fuelled crime sprees, some of which resulted in murder. Here, David Phillipps applies his piercing insight and relentless investigative journalism not only to this particular unit, but to the broader issue of PTSD as it rages throughout the country, and the people who are fighting for our veterans. He highlights the inspiring story of General Mark Graham, a former commander at Fort Carson and one of the few officers who had the vision and guts to see there is a growing problem with soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and to do something about it. Graham has opened his doors to the community for help, speaking candidly about the issue and offering a potential lifeline to the soldiers and a solution to this deadly problem.
