Summary:
Based on veterans' first-hand accounts of soldiers, sailors, and marines who were paralyzed on the battlefield during World War II--at the Battle of the Bulge, on the island of Okinawa, inside Japanese POW camps--the author shares their experiences pioneering the sport of wheelchair basketball, as well as their post-war life experiences and their impact on the disability rights movement.
