American Carnage: An Officer’s Duty to Warn, with Steve Nolan

The Signal

Steve Nolan spent 30 years in the military and 25 years as a mental health professional. He has published in numerous journals and his poetry was featured on National Public Radio, Morning Edition, upon his return from Afghanistan in 2007. He is the author of the books Go Deep, Base Camp, and American Carnage, An Officer’s Duty to Warn. His work reflects his commitment to social justice.

I talk to Steve about his book American Carnage and why he feels compelled as a retired military officer and mental health professional to speak out about the threat former President Donald Trump poses to U.S. democracy and why Trump is mentally unfit for office as Commander in Chief.
