		""Weep, America, cringe, America. We talk a good game about honoring all those who go into harm's way for our sake, but do we go beyond fine words and a few gold-plated flagship medical facilities? Aaron Glantz is in our face on the military treatment facilities, the VA, and civilian society at large." --Jonathan Shay , Achilles in Vietnam and Odysseus in America
How America Lost Iraq
	A brutally honest account of a reporter who discovered how popular the U.S. presence was in Iraq-and who then watched this popularity disappear as the Bush administration mishandled the war, leaving us with the intractable conflict we face today. "Couragous ... a frank and brave appraisal of one of the most potent issues facing our nation." -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "a nuanced and hard-hitting indictment.” – Publisher’s Weekly [starred review]
Winter Soldier Iraq and Afghanistan
	In spring 2008, inspired by the Vietnam-era Winter Soldier hearings, Iraq Veterans Against the War gathered veterans to expose war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. Here are the powerful words, images, and documents of this historic gathering, which show the reality of life in Afghanistan and Iraq. "Honor the casualties of this war .. by refusing to forget the elements and consequences of combat that our leaders would rather us not know in the first place." -- Anthony Swofford, Author of Jarhead "Must reading for patriots who have already begun the effort to insure that this never happens again." -- Phil Donahue
