“The truth as I see it now is that in a war, the bad is often measured against what’s worse, and that, in turn, makes a lot of deplorable things seem permissible. When that happens, the imaginary line between right and wrong starts to vanish in a heavy fog, until it disappears completely and decisions are weighed on a scale of values that is profoundly corrupt.”
—Camilo Mejía, Road from ar Ramadi

Join writer Camilio Mejía as he reads excerpts from his new book Road from ar Ramadi and discusses human rights and the necessity for an end to the unjust war in Iraq.

This event is free and open to the public.
