About The Book:
Many war books have been written about horrific battles and the terrible decisions soldiers must make during combat. This one explores how difficult and confusing it can be afterwards to come back home. "All the Ruined Men" is a book of linked short stories about veterans struggling to adjust to civilian life after years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
