Title
Warbody: Historical Anatomy and the Ecology of Military Exposures
Abstract
Reed College Professor of History and Environmental Studies Joshua Howe and former Marine Corps sniper Alexander Lemons discuss the making of their innovative co-authored book, Warbody, a deep dive into the experience of war's violence that goes beyond bullets and bombs to address the less visible and often even more impactful harm facing combatants and civilians alike from toxic exposures and lasting trauma.
