A Soldier Down…but Nowhere Near Out Wounded Soldier, Healing Warrior tells the life-changing, true story of a soldier who lost his legs but found his soul
It was early morning, June 17, 1967, and Dak To Special Forces camp in Vietnam was under attack. In the time it took for the bright flash of a mortar explosion to fill the pre-dawn darkness, the life of West Point graduate Allen B. Clark Jr. would be changed forever. Wounded Soldier, Healing Warrior is the story of how one soldier, so gravely injured that both of his legs were amputated, turned his grievous loss into a personal triumph. With unflinching honesty, author Allen Clark describes his life as a soldier and provides personal insight into his struggle towards recovery—from the painful and unfamiliar physical hurdles placed before him to the mental anguish of severe post traumatic stress disorder, a condition widely misunderstood at the time. This poignant book is also the story of a young man embracing his second chance at life. Determined to carve a new path for himself, Clark went on to earn his MBA from Southern Methodist University before finding employment as a personal financial assistant to Ross Perot, moving on to public service, and eventually founding the Combat Faith Ministry, a lay ministry to veterans. A gripping true account, Wounded Soldier, Healing Warrior is a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit and a source of inspiration for soldiers, past and present, wounded in body or spirit.

He served in the federal government as an assistant secretary in the Department of Veterans Affairs and later director of the National Cemetery System from 1989 to 1993. He lives in Dallas, Texas.
