Phil Klay's works of fiction and nonfiction have confronted the sometimes dissonant, disconnected public understanding about how America’s wars are waged — and about its veterans. The Fairfield University MFA professor and Marine Corps veteran joins Where We Live to discuss this "gulf of understanding," and to reflect on how some public perceptions have shifted in recent months.
Klay revisits his debut book, Redeployment, and touches on his latest book and his first novel, Missionaries. How much do we really know about America's military missions overseas?
