Description
In The Wounded Generation, acclaimed historian David Nasaw delivers a sobering and deeply researched portrait of America’s World War I veterans—men hailed as heroes, yet often left behind by the nation they served. Through personal letters, government records, and poignant storytelling, Nasaw reveals how these soldiers returned home to face physical and psychological trauma, unemployment, and neglect. A powerful exploration of postwar America and the long shadow cast by the “war to end all wars.”
