Abstract

ATR/100.2 Book Reviews 415 like Peter Brown or Serge Lancel—both alive (to different degrees) to Au- gustine’s colonial context. Part of the value of González’s mestizo lens is that it suggests angles on the materials that such scholars might miss. Ben Fulford University of Chester Chester, United Kingdom Moral Injury: Restoring Wounded Souls. By Larry Kent Graham. Nashville, Tenn.: Abingdon Press, 2017. 192 pp. $19.99 (paper). The invisible wounds of war are becoming a more prominent part of the American discourse on our “Longest Wars.” Society’s understanding of veteran PTS/PTSD is perhaps more comprehensive than previous genera- tions, but a further differentiation between types of invisible wounds is still needed. For instance, what about the moral ambiguities of combat? Moral injury, then, emerged as an answer to those ambiguities. Moral injury is un- derstood as the actions committed or received that betray an individual’s moral understanding of right and wrong. This has pinpointed the experience of many veterans.
