In \u003cem\u003eThe Good Soldiers\u003c\/em\u003e, his bestselling account from the front lines of Baghdad, Finkel shadowed the men of the 2-16 Infantry Battalion as they carried out a gruelling 15-month tour that changed all of them forever. Now, Finkel follows many of those same men back home, in a journey less about geography than psychological terrain, undertaken by people trying to heal or at the very least survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThank You for Your Service\u003c\/em\u003e, Finkel writes with tremendous compassion about the soldiers and their partners and children—the heartbroken wife who wonders privately whether her returned husband is going to get better, or kill her; and the heroic victims, with the fresh taste of a gun in their mouths, who will either make the journey back to sanity or to final ruin. Finkel takes us everywhere the war is seeping into as it infects America—to the courtrooms filling up with divorce and abuse cases, and worse; to bars; to Fort Riley; to the mental-health clinic to which the army is outsourcing its post-traumatic stress disorder cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThank You for Your Service\u003c\/em\u003e is an immense act of understanding—shocking but always riveting, unflinching but deeply humane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003eThe Good Soldiers\u003c\/em\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'Dear soldier, before going to war, read this book.'
