Excerpt

This very substantial and well-structured anthology, by former Anglican Bishop Tom Frame (Australia), is a collection of essays from Australian military historians, ex-soldiers, ethicists, psychologists and chaplains, who attempt to identify and explain something of the ‘unseen wounds’ or ‘soul wounds’ that may be attributed to ‘moral injury’. Moral injury is gaining increasing societal awareness. This is due to greater recognition that trauma (in its various forms) can cause much deeper inflictions than just biological or even psychological damage—for there may also be wounds affecting the ‘soul’ that are far more difficult to heal, if at all. …
