Charles Glass on Julian Assange, Middle East Politics and His New Book- "Soldiers Don't Go Mad" (G&R 269)
Description
Charles Glass (@charlesmglass) is one of the more recognized and important journalists of the past couple generations and we had a great discussion with him. First, we discussed the case of Julian Assange, whom he visited in Belmarsh recently, and where it stands and what's coming up. Then we talked about the crisis in Palestine, which Glass is uniquely established to discuss given him past as a journalist in the area, including being ABC's correspondent from 1983 to 1993. Finally he told us about his most recent book, *Soldiers Don't Go Mad,* which is about shell shock and the lives of soldiers in World War I, and features the lives of poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.
