As new military threats emerge and the nature of conflict continues to change exponentially, it is critical to properly plan mental health programs to prepare and support defense personnel to protect against the physical, mental, ethical and spiritual traumas and dilemmas they may face. As Kieran argues, it is also important to weigh carefully and consider under what circumstances we as a country will engage in conflict at such significant costs. We cannot sidestep this complex mental illness IED staring at us in the room., A challenge to conventional wisdom about the military ignoring PTSD, traumatic brain injury and suicide among troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. [Kieran] takes readers inside the medical arm of military services and civilian government bureaucracies showing how dedicated researchers and administrators trying to reach consensus about how to treat - and perhaps even prevent - serious mental damage and suicide...an intriguing study., "Because David Kieran is so fair-minded, his analysis of the mental health crisis in the U.S. military is devastating and persuasive. Signature Wounds provides a judicious, yet stunning, rebuke to a culture that incessantly reminds us to "support our troops" yet acquiesces to endless wars that expose them to levels of psychological trauma no mental health program could possibly prevent or adequately treat."- Christian G. Appy, author of Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides, One comes away from Signature Wounds with a healthy respect for the military's attempts to understand and manage [PTSD and TBI], and an even greater contempt for the armchair hawks most responsible for creating them., An impressive work on a vitally important, yet understudied topic that is both illuminating and compelling. For an American society still grappling with the multifaceted problems of endless war, this is an extraordinarily relevant book that deserves a wide readership., "The first comprehensive history of the military mental health crises of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. While Kieran finds both successes and failures along the way, his larger argument leads us beyond policy judgements -- Kieran reveals how military mental health was itself the terrain of battle in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. This book is essential reading for historians, policy makers, and members of the US military."- Jennifer Mittlestadt, Rutgers University, "A significant contribution to understanding the long-term human costs and consequences of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. A foundational work in this field."- Susan Carruthers, University of Warwick, Because David Kieran is so fair-minded, his analysis of the mentalhealth crisis in the U.S. military is devastating and persuasive.Signature Wounds provides a judicious, yet stunning, rebuke to a culturethat incessantly reminds us to support our troops yet acquiesces toendless wars that expose them to levels of psychological trauma nomental health program could possibly prevent or adequately treat., "An impressive work on a vitally important, yet understudied topic that is both illuminating and compelling.

Synopsis
Signature Wounds: The Untold Story of the Military's Mental Health Crisis explores the topic of mental illness in the military--, The surprising story of the Army's efforts to combat PTSD and traumatic brain injury The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of our troops. In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama took to the Senate floor to tell his colleagues that "many of our injured soldiers are returning from Iraq with traumatic brain injury," which doctors were calling the "signature wound" of the Iraq War. Alarming stories of veterans taking their own lives raised a host of vital questions: Why hadn't the military been better prepared to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Why were troops being denied care and sent back to Iraq? Why weren't the Army and the VA doing more to address these issues? Drawing on previously unreleased documents and oral histories, David Kieran tells the broad and nuanced story of the Army's efforts to understand and address these issues, challenging the popular media view that the Iraq War was mismanaged by a callous military unwilling to address the human toll of the wars. The story of mental health during this war is the story of how different groups--soldiers, veterans and their families, anti-war politicians, researchers and clinicians, and military leaders--approached these issues from different perspectives and with different agendas. It is the story of how the advancement of medical knowledge moves at a different pace than the needs of an Army at war, and it is the story of how medical conditions intersect with larger political questions about militarism and foreign policy. This book shows how PTSD, TBI, and suicide became the signature wounds of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, how they prompted change within the Army itself, and how mental health became a factor in the debates about the impact of these conflicts on US culture., The surprising story of the Army's efforts to combat PTSD and traumatic brain injury The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken a tremendous toll on the mental health of our troops.
