Summary:
In April 2004, the world was shocked by the brutal pictures ofbeatings, dog attacks, sex acts, and the torture of prisoners held at
Abu Ghraib in Iraq. As the story broke, and the world began to learn
about the extent of the horrors that occurred there, the US Army
dispatched Col. Larry James to Abu Ghraib with an overwhelming
assignment: to dissect this catastrophe, fix it, and prevent it from
ever happening again.A nationally well-known and respected Army
Psychologist, Col. James's expertise (including a previous deployment
to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba) made him the one individual capable of
taking on this enormous task. Through Col. James's own experience on
the ground, readers will see the tightrope military personnel must
walk while fighting in the still new battlefield of the war on
terror, the challenge of serving as both a doctor/healer and
combatant soldier, and what can (and must) be done to ensure that
interrogations are safe, moral, ethical, and effective.An insightful
and intense personal narrative, Fixing Hell shows readers Abu Ghraib
as they've never seen it before. (2008)
