From Amazon: Following the success of Always Loyal, his first photo book featuring amputee veterans from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Michael Stokes presents a second book highlighting the bravery and recovery of wounded veterans. Sixteen veterans participated in this project - five from the United Kingdom.
Michael's sexy photos of wounded veterans have been shared around the world and have been featured on television on Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Tonight Show, CNN, The View, and The Talk. They have been featured in several major newspapers and online periodicals around the world, including The Independent UK, The Mirror UK, The Drudge Report, The Huffington Post, The Huffington Post (French Edition), Cosmopolitan, People magazine, BuzzFeed, and Vanity Fair Italy, just to mention a few.
To date Michael has raised 32,500 for veteran's charities. From the proceeds of this book $15,000 will go to The Semper Fi Fund by the end of 2016, brining his charitable donations to veteran's groups to $47,500.
** Stunning- The True Price of Freedom*** So glad I was able to get this book. Not only do I love his work, I am a child of a Vietnam Vet. Thank you for beautifully displaying the true price of the Freedoms we take for granted.
This is an absolutely beautiful piece of work. The pictures are so raw and illustrate not only the physical strength but the internal strength that was necessary to overcome their injuries. This is absolutely phenomenal!
