Book Reading: US Soldiers & Torture | Opera Plaza

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Based on firsthand reporting from the Middle East, as well as interviews with soldiers, their families and friends, military officials, and the victims of torture, None of Us Were Like This Before reveals how soldiers, senior officials, and the US public came to believe that torture was both effective and necessary. The book illustrates that the damaging legacy of torture is not only borne by the detainees, but also by American soldiers and the country to which they’ve returned. Author Joshua E.S. Phillips discusses the book.
