War Body
a Marine Sniper in the Hidden Violence of Modern Warfare
Book •
In this book, Lemons vividly describes his time in Fallujah and elsewhere during the worst of the Iraq War, his descent into a decade-long battle with mysterious and severe sickness, and his return to health.
Howe explains, with clarity and scientific insight, the many toxicities to which Lemons was exposed and their potential consequences.
Together they cover the whirlwind of toxic exposures military personnel face from the things they touch and breathe in all the time.
They also consider PTSD and traumatic brain injury, which are endemic among the military.
Finally, they explore how both mainstream and alternative medicine struggle to understand, accommodate, and address the vast array of health problems among military veterans.
