About the Book

They were once known by the famous moniker, 'Band of Brothers.' Now, 60 years later, this same unit calls itself the "Lethal Warriors," having seen the worst of the violence in Iraq. The notorious army unit from Fort Carson, Colorado is plagued by PTSD and its members, misdiagnosed or untreated since returning from war, embarked on drug-fuelled crime sprees, some of which resulted in murder. Here, David Phillipps applies his piercing insight and relentless investigative journalism not only to this particular unit, but to the broader issue of PTSD as it rages throughout the country, and the people who are fighting for our veterans. He highlights the inspiring story of General Mark Graham, a former commander at Fort Carson and one of the few officers who had the vision and guts to see there is a growing problem with soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, and to do something about it. Graham has opened his doors to the community for help, speaking candidly about the issue and offering a potential lifeline to the soldiers and a solution to this deadly problem.

His coverage of the violence at Fort Carson lead to national media appearances on CNN, NPR and MSNBC.

Review :
'Featuring insights from sources up to and including the General commanding Fort Carson -- himself father to two dead soldiers -- Philipps' book is one of the best examples I've seen of journalists who genuinely know their own patch expertly documenting local events which come to capture national and international attention. ..The rights and wrongs of America's involvement in these conflicts need not enter into the discussion to appreciate the significance of the issue raised here. Societal failure to support and look after the troops who protect society is far from new. The Vietnam narrative is riddled with it. Kipling knew it all too well. A significant proportion of London's homeless population are veterans. Philipps' book insists that we address it -- and he is right.' - The Spectator
