She survived the ordeal despite having suffered bullet wounds to both of her ankles.
Shoshana shared her dramatic story in her 2010 autobiography I’m Still Standing: From Captive U.S. Soldier to Free Citizen – My Journey Home. In this conversation with María Hinojosa, she relives this military ordeal that changed her life forever, as well as discusses the role of women in combat and the stigma related to psychological injuries.
