Author Discusses PTSD, Lethal Warriors, 6:30 pm Dec. 13

David Philipps will discuss his new book, “Lethal Warriors: When the New Band of Brothers Came Home,” at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 13, in the Bloomberg Room.

The army unit from Fort Carson, Colo., once known as the “Band of Brothers” was later renamed “Lethal Warriors.” Deployed to some of the worst regions in Iraq for multiple tours of duty, many of these soldiers suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Some, undiagnosed or untreated since returning from war, have become involved in a series of violent crimes. Philipps investigates the unit from its action overseas and the broader issue of PTSD in returning veterans.

The 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.

This is a fundraiser for the Eric Friedheim National Journalism Library; outside books are not permitted.
