Bob Woodruff working on special and book about recovery

The AP reports that Bob Woodruff, who was severely injured by a roadside bomb while working in Iraq last January, will make his first on-screen appearance since the injury this spring. He will appear in a prime-time special that detailed his long recovery process.

In the special, Woodruff will interview eyewitnesses to the explosion and the medical teams that helped get him to safety and saved his life. He will also talk to other soldiers who have been injured in Iraq, as well as their families. Woodruff and his wife Lynn are also working on a book for Random House about his injury and recovery affected him and his family. The book will also talk about the couple's history together.

After the special airs, Woodruff will also begin to work more regularly at ABC News, but his role is uncertain, since he lost his World News anchor spot to Charles Gibson earlier this year.
