After two tours each of Afghanistan and Iraq in the Marines, author Jake Wood returned home. He describes his psychological wounds, and explains that thousands of US former servicemen and women struggle to integrate back into society, searching for the sense of purpose they found in the military. When an earthquake rocked Haiti in 2010, Wood and a team of veterans went to help. This launched Team Rubicon, a disaster relief organization that now has responded to many catastrophes. In this gripping, painful and honest account of war and its aftermath, Wood details the transformative power veterans find in rendering meaningful service.
