RaveThe San Francisco ChronicleWith an exceptional ear for anecdotes and obvious skill at getting people to open up, Finkel profiles men who put their fists through doors or upend furniture, who hit their wives or scream at them or ignore them, men returned from war who drink too much, pop pills and put shotguns to their heads … On the surface, Finkel tells a largely conventional, sentimental story of those we've come to know as ‘wounded warriors,’ but thanks to a subtext running through the book, it would be difficult for a reader not to take a hard look at these men who are, without question, angry and hurting and damaged … Thank You for Your Service will be justly hailed as an essential book for understanding all that came after for the soldiers who occupied Iraq. It's an important chronicle of American veterans in an age of perpetual war.
