Title: The sandbox
Description: Mike Liguori's The Sandbox has chronicles his two deployments to Iraq as a United States Marine. "More than finding out what it was like 'over there' though, The Sandbox offers readers a real and sobering gut check of what it's like for vets 'back here.' Mike bravely shares his experiences transitioning from combat to campus. Though he initially felt out of sync with his civilian peers and struggled a bit with pills prescriptions from the VA, he persevered and graduated in 2011 with a Bachelors degree in Business Management. He is the founder of a nonprofit that helps veterans develop professional careers and landed a beat with Examiner.com as a Veterans Affairs correspondent."  -- Provided by publisher.
