WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2006 – The award-winning creator of the Doonesbury cartoon strip visited the Pentagon today to meet with wounded servicemembers and sign copies of his second book in a series chronicling the recovery of a wounded Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran.
Garry Trudeau wrote the book, “The War Within: One More Step at a Time,” as a follow-up to his book, “The Long Road Home: One Step at a Time,” which tells the story of comic strip character “B.D.,” a National Guardsman who lost his leg during the battle of Fallujah in Iraq and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. The second book follows B.D.’s return to civilian and family life after leaving the hospital and his process of dealing with his post-traumatic stress disorder.
