Winner of the Carla Furstenberg Cohen Literary Prize in Nonfiction, Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and the New York Public Library Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism One of Ten Favorite Books of 2013 by Michiko Kakutani ( The New York Times ), a Washington Post Top Ten Book of the Year, and a New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times , The Washington Post , USA Today , The Economist , The Seattle Times , and Minneapolis Star Tribune No journalist has reckoned with the psychology of war as intimately as David Finkel. In The Good Soldiers , his bestselling account from the front lines of Baghdad, Finkel embedded with the men of the 2-16 Infantry Battalion as they carried out the infamous "surge," a grueling fifteen-month tour that changed them all forever. In Thank You for Your Service , Finkel follows many of those same men as they return home and struggle to reintegrate--both into their family lives and into American society at large. He is with them in their most intimate, painful, and hopeful moments as they try to recover, and in doing so, he creates an indelible, essential portrait of what life after war is like--not just for these soldiers, but for their wives, widows, children, and friends, and for the professionals who are truly trying, and to a great degree failing, to undo the damage that has been done.
