Glenton, Joe, 1982-2013
Books, Manuscripts
When the War on Terror began, Briton Joe Glenton felt compelled to serve his nation. He passed through basic training and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2006. What he saw overseas left him disillusioned, and he returned home manifesting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and becoming increasingly politicized. When he refused to return for a second tour, he was denied his right to object and called a 'coward and malingerer'. He went absent without leave and left the country. 'Soldier Box' tells the story of Glenton's journey from a promising soldier to a rebel against what he came to see as unjustified military action.
