The Leonard Lopate Show | May 9, 2014

Ron Capps witnessed atrocities in Kosovo, the brutal cruelties perpetrated in several conflicts in Africa, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the genocide in Darfur, serving as both a senior military intelligence officer and as a Foreign Service officer for the U.S. Department of State.

He writes about his experiences in Seriously Not All Right: Five Wars in Ten Years.
