"LUKE MURPHY'S STORY STARTS WHERE MOST WAR MOVIES END."
Sharing His Journey with Readers Around the World
Blasted by Adversity: The Making of a Wounded Warrior documents Luke's incredible ascendance from Army infantryman, surviving an IED blast amputating his right leg and severing his left, to key public advocate for wounded veterans. Luke shares his remarkable journey from hopelessness in a hospital room to skiing black diamonds in Aspen, catching tuna on Jimmy Buffet’s boat, and speaking to thousands at the Pentagon. The book gives voice to a new generation of wounded service members and provides inspiration to all.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
Luke, with humor, passion, and humility, tells of returning from combat to fight a different battle—the battle wounded soldiers fight to get back to a new normal, physically and mentally.

Luke writes with such refreshing openness, it’s as if he's telling you his remarkable story over a few beers. If you need a shot of inspiration, fortify yourself with this book.

Blasted by Adversity: The Making of a Wounded Warrior is by far the best account of one warrior’s trip to hell and back… This book should be a part of every veteran’s transition back to life.
