“A Few Bad Men: The True Story of U.S. Marines Ambushed in Afghanistan and Betrayed by America” is the incredible true story of an elite team of U.S. Marines set up to take the fall for Afghanistan war crimes they did not commit—and their leader who fought for the redemption of his men. We welcome the author of this book, and a figure central to the story, Major Fred Galvin, to the show to talk about his experience not only as a soldier but to defend and clear his and his men’s name in the longest Marine Corps trial in its history.
