Books, Manuscripts
How did US forces in Iraq eventually turn to torture? Phillips' narrative recounts the journey of a tank battalion - trained for conventional combat - as its focus switches to guerrilla and prisoner detention. It tells of how ordinary soldiers, ill trained for their responsibilities, descended into the degradations of abuse.
