Book Synopsis
Invisible Scars explores the treatment of psychological casualties during the Korean War and the long-term repercussions for former soldiers living with trauma.

Trade Review

The ultimate value in Dr. Fitzpatrick’s study reaches well beyond its considerable historical significance… [Invisible Scars] acknowledges advances made in treating these men and women while reminding us that much has yet to be done.

-- Russell W. Glenn, G2, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command * Canadian Military History, Vol 27, Issue 2 *
