Good article about a journalist that lost his hand while reporting from Iraq.
TIME Magazine:
In his book Blood Brothers, Time senior correspondent Michael Weisskopf weaves his own tale of losing a hand in Iraq with the stories of three soldiers who also spent time at Amputee Alley, Ward 57 of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. In this excerpt, the action begins on Dec. 10, 2003, as Weisskopf, 57 at the time, is on assignment in Baghdad, riding in the back of an open humvee along with Time photographer James Nachtwey and two young soldiers, Private Orion Jenks and Private First Class Jim Beverly.
