Wounds of War

Focusing on the Veterans Healthcare Administration, the book provides an in-depth examination of its treatment of patients with service-related injuries over five years. It highlights how the VHA often outperforms private sector institutions in primary and geriatric care, mental health services, and end-of-life support. The narrative also addresses the contentious public debate surrounding veterans' health care, contrasting the experiences of VHA patients and caregivers with the views of politicians advocating for privatization.
