Diary of a Sergeant
Harold Russell, an American soldier who lost his hands in a training accident, tells the story of his medical rehabilitation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC. He talks about how he and his fellow amputees at the hospital were at first hopeless, but then found new hope in the prosthetics and training that the Army's medical corps offered to amputees. Russell learns how to wear and use the hooks that replace his hands, and he is soon able to do many things he once thought were impossible. When he gets out of the Army, college president William J. Murphy, S.J., welcomes him to Boston College.
