Diary of a Sergeant
Harold Russell, an American soldier who lost his hands in a training accident, recounts his medical rehabilitation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, and how he and his fellow amputees there first lost hope, only to find new hope in the prosthetics and training available to amputees through the Army's medical corps. Russell learns to wear and control the hooks that replace his hands, and he becomes capable of performing a variety of things that he previously thought were impossible. He is welcomed into Boston College by college president William J. Murphy, S.J. after being discharged from the army.
