Descripción editorial
None of Us Were Like This Before recounts the dark journey of a tank battalion as its focus switched from conventional warfare to guerrilla war and prisoner detention. Phillips’s narrative reveals how a group of ordinary soldiers, ill trained for the responsibilities foisted upon them, descended into a cycle of degradation that led to the abuse of detainees. The book illustrates that the damaging legacy of torture is not only borne by the detainees, but also by American soldiers and the country to which they have returned.
Reseñas de clientes
A dark and ultimately tragic story about how torture affects us all.
Phillips captures both sides of the story on torture, offering us a rare glimpse into the lives of US soldiers who were forced into roles they weren’t prepared for. This is a thorough look at the horrors, and predictable failure, of torture at the hand of Americans.
