INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Life only really starts when we start serving others.
For many people, military service isn’t simply a job. It’s a ticket out of a lonely society and into a family of enduring bonds.
In over a decade of working with veterans, Johnny Joey Jones has discovered the power of battle-forged friendships. Suffering a life-changing injury while deployed in Afghanistan, he faced a daunting recovery. But coming home would have been much harder without the support of his brothers and sisters in arms.
In Unbroken Bonds of Battle, Joey tells the stories of those very warriors, who for years have supported and inspired him on the battlefield and off. Through unfiltered and authentic conversations with American heroes in every branch of service, Joey tackles the big questions about life, loss, and, of course, hunting.
Powerful life lessons are woven throughout these personal oral histories. Also included is a scrapbook of beautiful candid photographs from the lives of these modern warriors.
A gorgeous patriotic keepsake, Unbroken Bonds of Battle reminds us of the costs paid by those who defend our freedom through unvarnished, inspiring tales of friendship.

Staff Sergeant Joey Jones, USMC (Ret.) turned a traumatic, life-changing disability into a personal mission to improve the lives of all veterans. He was raised in Georgia and enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school. During his eight years of service, he worked as a bomb technician, deploying to both Iraq and Afghanistan on separate tours. During his last deployment to Afghanistan, he was responsible for disarming and destroying 80+ improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and thousands of pounds of other unknown bulk explosives. During that tour on August 6, 2010, he stepped on an IED, resulting in the loss of both of his legs above the knee and severe damage to his right forearm and both wrists. He recovered at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, DC. He focused on overcoming adversity, finding a positive perspective in dire situations, leaning on those around you, and finding strength in yourself and your community, and he now serves at the chief spokesperson for Zac Brown’s Southern Ground and Military director and spokesperson for Camp Southern Ground. He regularly appears as an outspoken, yet insightful military analyst for Fox News. Find him at www.johnnyjoeyjones.com, www.facebook.com/JohnnyJoeyJones, and www.instagram.com/johnny_joey.
