Jasper Craven, GOD FORGIVES, BROTHERS DON'T
About this Event
In conversation with Matt Gordon.
Free. Registration Requested.
When investigative reporter Jasper Craven first dug into Valley Forge Military Academy five years ago, he uncovered an acrid strain of masculinity that was raw, violent, fiercely hierarchical, and quickly mutating out of control. Initially, he had assumed that military education was a dying, outmoded brand. But as he looked deeper, he found a sprawling, well-funded network featuring dozens of military schools, like Valley Forge and West Point, plus thousands of ROTC programs in public colleges and high schools that allowed the Pentagon to wield outsized power on education.
Part sweeping military history, part gripping journalistic investigation, God Forgives, Brothers Don’t lifts the veil on the harmful world of military schools and provides essential context and nuance to the ongoing debate on American masculinity.
Jasper Craven is an investigative journalist covering men and the military for outlets including The New York Times, Harper's, POLITICO, The Baffler, and Wired.
