John Conrad

John Conrad has served thirty-four years in the Canadian Army. A bestselling author and colonel in the Army Reserve, he has authored a number of books and articles on Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan, including What the Thunder Said: Reflections of a Canadian Soldier in Kandahar, a Military Book of the Month club selection. His most recent book, Among the Walking Wounded: Soldiers, Survival, and PTSD (Dundurn) is a gripping, personal account of post-traumatic stress disorder and the military. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly calls it “a tragedy whose telling here should be required reading for anyone still dismissing the unseen wounds of warriors.” Colonel Conrad currently resides near Cooking Lake, Alberta.
