Summary
Perfectly Wounded is Navy SEAL Mike Day's memoir about surviving a 2007 mission in Iraq where he was shot 27 times at close range by Al-Qaeda fighters. Despite his catastrophic injuries, Day killed all four attackers and walked to the evacuation helicopter. The book chronicles his long physical recovery and, more significantly, his struggle with PTSD and survivor's guilt. Day candidly explores the aftermath of his miraculous survival, examining what happens when the initial miracle fades and the real work of healing begins. It's an honest account of military service, trauma, and redemption.
