An inspiring and enlightening conversation with author David Davis about an unforgettable tale of defying the odds and finding hope out of the carnage of World War II.

Join us for a webinar about a book that has received great press and even better reviews, "Wheels of Courage: How Paralyzed Veterans from World War II Invented Wheelchair Sports, Fought for Disability Rights, and Inspired a Nation." Wheels of Courage tells the stirring story of the soldiers, sailors, and marines who were paralyzed on the battlefield during World War II—only to return to a world unused to dealing with their traumatic injuries.
