Blood Brothers: Among The Soldiers of Ward 57
By: Michael Weisskopf


Here's a review!
From Booklist
Prizewinning Time reporter Weisskopf went to Iraq embedded with the First Armored Division. One day he picked up a strange object from the bottom of his vehicle--and woke up with his right hand missing. His next journey was to Ward 57, the amputee ward, of Walter Reed Hospital. He skillfully depicts his own experiences and those of his wardmates, making it clear that even today amputation entails a particularly acute form of post--traumatic stress disorder, to say nothing of the physical pain involved, and having to learn all over again to use the muscles of more than the affected limb. Nor, even in an era when each casualty can be given painstaking care, is Walter Reed, the army's flagship hospital, free of red tape and personnel who--and this is putting it delicately--lack a bedside manner. This thoroughly distinguished addition to the literature on the Iraq War adds further distinction to Weisskopf's career, which he plans to continue to the best of his remaining abilities. Roland Green
