Boston Marathon attack survivor Jeff Bauman is writing a memoir, to be released by Grand Central Publishing in April 2014 — the one-year anniversary of the bombing that killed five and injured 280, including 264 people gathered at the finish line.
Bauman, 27, was at the marathon on April 15 cheering on his runner girlfriend. Both of his legs had to be amputated above the knee. As he recovered in the hospital, Bauman helped investigators finger the Tsarnaev brothers as suspects in the bombing.
He is also pictured in one of the most iconic images from the attack. In the photo, he's being helped to safety by a marathon worker, first responder, and a bystander.
(Warning: Mildly graphic.)
