Deployed to some of the worst regions in Iraq for multiple tours of duty, many of these soldiers suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and some, undiagnosed or untreated since returning from war, have become involved in a series of violent crimes.
David Philipps investigates this particular unit from their actions overseas and the broader issue of PTSD in returning veterans throughout the country.
The December 13th event is free for Club members, $5 for non-members. Those presenting Military ID will be admitted free. The book will be available for $25, and Philipps will sign copies.
As this is a fundraiser for the Eric Friedheim National Journalism Library, outside books are not permitted.
Reservations are required at the National Press Club in D.C. opus@press.org or 202-662-7523.
