With "Redeployment," author Phil Klay wrote a book on the Iraq war that's been compared to Tim O'Brien's Vietnam classic "The Things They Carried." Klay's new book, "Missionaries," is set in South America. This week, Grant Reeher talks with Klay about the book, about his experience in the military, and more.

Grant Reeher is Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
