Exit Wounds: One Australian's War on Terror 16 October 2012

Major General John Cantwell

Exit Wounds is the compassionate and deeply human account of one man’s tour of the War on Terror, the moving story of life on a modern battlefield: from the nightmare of cheating death in a minefield, to the poignancy of calling home while under rocket fire in Baghdad, to the utter despair of looking into the face of a dead soldier before sending him home to his mother. He has hidden his post-traumatic stress disorder for decades, fearing it will affect his career.
