October 2017 Non-Fiction Book of the Month
Published a few days before the start of the 3rd Invictus Games in Toronto where around 550 competitors – all “wounded warriors” will be competing. This is their story told by some of those who’ve taken part in the games. As the author Boris Starling says, Invictus is different to the Paralympic games, firstly those injured in both mind and body can take part, they have a military background and there is a greater emphasis on just being there and doing your best.
It highlights just what these men and women have been through, their support - both medical and personal and what the games mean to them. ~ Sue Baker
