Faces of Combat, PTSD & TBI: One Journalist's
Crusade to Improve Treatment for Our Veterans
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eric Newhouse issues a call to help America’s returning warriors in his
latest book, Faces of Combat, PTSD and TBI: One Journalist’s Crusade to Improve Treatment for Our Veterans. His
concern is that one-third to one-half of the 1.6 million men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan can
be expected to return home with one or all three emotional disorders – post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
traumatic brain injury (TBI), or major depression. But the Veterans Administration is already overloaded in
treating soldiers from previous conflicts, primarily Vietnam vets who never received the help they needed
and deserved.
Eric Newhouse has been a reporter, correspondent and bureau chief for The Associated Press.
He is currently the projects editor for the Great Falls, Montana, Tribune. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for a
12-part series of stories on alcoholism.
For more information about the ongoing crusade to get appropriate treatment for combat veterans see the
website FacesOfCombat.US.
