After members of our armed forces bravely serve their nation,
they sometimes come home to find themselves battling another
enemy--within their own government. Using decades of case
histories, statistics, and firsthand accounts, award-winning
Washington journalist Martin Schram exposes a shocking culture of
antagonism toward veterans by the very agency--the Department of
Veterans Affairs--that was formed to serve them.
"Vets Under Siege" reveals the shameless lack of care shown to
our young servicemen and -women, from recruiters' deceptions and a
lack of armor in battle to shoddy, disgusting conditions at Walter
Reed and other medical facilities, and looks back to examine the
innumerable postwar battles our veterans have had to wage for
proper treatment, from World War II to today. Martin Schram's bold
bugle call, sounded on behalf of our nation's beleaguered
servicemen and -women, lays bare a chilling pattern of
institutional negligence, delay, and denial, and points the way
forward with definitive solutions to a national disgrace.
