Blasted by Adversity: the Making of a Wounded Warrior documents the
incredible ascendance of an Army infantryman who survived an IED blast,
amputating his right leg and severing his left, and emerged as a key
public advocate for wounded veterans. Luke Murphy's injury was the
beginning of a remarkable journey that took him from hopelessness in a
hospital room to skiing black diamonds in Aspen, catching tuna on Jimmy
Buffet's boat and speaking to thousands at the Pentagon. The book gives
voice to a new generation of wounded service members.
