None of Us Were Like This Before
by Joshua E S Phillips
This book takes the story of a tank unit in Iraq that ended up being assigned to prison detail. What emerged was that the unit had been immersed in torture, and their subsequent guilt when they returned traumatised them, driving some to suicide. It is a very important book on atrocity-related trauma and the blow-back effect from Iraq.
