Listen now
Description
Isaac S. Loftus and Dr. Lynn Price Robbins welcome Daniel Cross to the show to examine a side of George Washington and warfare that is rarely discussed—the painful aftereffects. The modern-day vocabulary may not be present, but the humanity and psychological impact of post-traumatic stress disorder can be seen in the words of Washington and revolutionary-era soldiers.
