In an Instant
Read Bob and Lee Woodruff's memoir, a compelling account of their life together, and how it was blown apart by the Improvised Explosive Device in Iraq - and how their family persevered through a time of intense trauma and uncertainty. A portion of the proceeds go to the Bob Woodruff Family Fund.





On January 29, 2006, ABC News Anchor Bob Woodruff was severely injured in Iraq when his convoy was hit by a roadside bomb. Woodruff, who was wounded along with cameraman Doug Vogt, sustained multiple life-threatening injuries, including a devastating brain injury. In his first on-air report since the incident, Woodruff tells the incredible story of his life-altering injury and miraculous recovery.

Through interviews with his family, the military medical teams that saved his life, and the ABC News crew and soldiers with him on that fateful patrol, we learn about Woodruff’s journey to Iraq and back and his fight to survive. Woodruff then returns to the field to report the stories of brave young soldiers and marines who, like him, are recovering from traumatic brain injury or TBI – the signature injury of the war in Iraq.

Woodruff’s in-depth reporting reveals how the Veterans Affairs system is not adequately prepared to care for the tidal wave of wounded veterans returning from Iraq. In a documentary that has resulted in congressional hearings and changed the national debate on veteran’s care, Woodruff follows soldiers, marines and their families as they struggle not only to heal from their wounds, but also to get the care they deserve.
To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports from The Documentary Group.

"'To Iraq and Back' is remarkably compelling...Mr. Woodruff tells his story with candor and restraint, then turns the focus to men and women who return badly wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan."
