After miraculously surviving being shot in the head in 1948 at the historic Nebbi Yusha battle in Israel, Amnon Ben-Yehuda built a successful career and enjoyed a happy family life. Or so it seemed.

For four decades following that physical trauma, Ben-Yehuda suffered in secret with emotional demons. Like too many combat veterans, he resisted counseling and remained in denial about how lasting and damaging his wound was. But facing a crisis, he finally reached out for counseling that turned his life around.

Ben-Yehuda wrote Healing the Wounds of War: My Personal Journey not as an autobiography but as a journey through one veteran's inner soul, seeking to inspire others in situations like his to also finally find peace of mind.
