Against All Enemies: Gulf War Syndrome: The War between America's Ailing Veterans and Their Government (Abridged)

by Seymour Hersh Narrated by James Sutorius

Overview

While the Gulf War lasted barely six months- from August 1990 until February 1991- many of the veterans who engaged in the conflict suffered long-lasting physical and psychological effects. And yet, those in power who had the ability to address such issues, neglected to do so- at least not in any effective or sustainable ways. But why did the system fail the Gulf War veterans? Did political leaders have an obligation to speak out on behalf of the veterans and demand that America's military hospitals stop turning them away? In Against All Enemies, Seymour M. Hersh- who first gained worldwide recognition in 1969 for exposing the My Lai Massacre and its cover-up during the Vietnam War- poses the difficult questions and offers opinions on why and how our nation let down so many of the men and women who engaged in the Gulf War.
