Aaron Glantz, who reported extensively from Iraq during the first three years of the Iraq, interviewed more than one hundred recent war veterans, and in The War Comes Home: Washington's Battle Against America's Veterans he intersperses their haunting first-person accounts with groundbreaking investigative journalism.

This timely book does more than provide us with a personal connection to those whose service has cost them so dearly. It compels us to confront how America treats its veterans and to consider what kind of nation deifies its soldiers and then casts them off as damaged goods.

For those of you who'd like to meet Mr. Glantz tonight (Monday) a casual gathering is being organized this evening at Manuel's at about 9:00 pm.
