Author Aaron Glantz Coming To SF and Oakland To Discuss His New Book–The War Comes Home: Washington’s Battle Against America’s Veterans

The War Comes Home: Washington’s Battle Against
America’s Veterans

Aaron Glantz, unembeded journalist, broadcaster from Winter
Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan has just come out with his new
book.

The War Comes Home: Washington’s Battle against
America’s Veterans is the first book to systematically
document the U.S. government’s neglect of soldiers
returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Aaron Glantz, who
reported extensively from Iraq during the first three years
of this war and has been reporting on the plight of veterans
ever since, levels a devastating indictment against the Bush
administration for its bald neglect of soldiers and its
disingenuous reneging on their benefits. The book also
supplies the reader with extensive, easy-to-use resource
information for those who need help now, not when policy has
changed.
