American author Joshua ES Phillips was in London recently to speak about his through-provoking book, None Of Us Were Like This Before, at Woolfson & Tay. He shared insight of his experiences interviewing soldiers involved in the surge in Iraq. It was poignant and also shocking to learn of how prisoner abuse had been encouraged, and of how many who participated struggled to deal with what they had witnessed and done. Most soldiers who returned were never the same, their mental and physical health deteriorated, and many families were broken by what had taken place 'over there.' On a lighter note, it was the first time we received a dog as a guest to an author's event!
