Afterwar

Afterwar by Nancy Sherman explores the often-overlooked moral injuries faced by soldiers returning from war, emphasizing that psychological and medical treatments alone are insufficient for addressing these profound moral and emotional wounds. Drawing from interviews and her expertise in ethics and psychoanalysis, Sherman offers a compassionate look at how veterans can reclaim their feelings and rebuild trust, highlighting the importance of philosophical understanding in the healing process. The book also discusses necessary changes in military and civilian institutions to better support those affected by war’s moral toll.
