On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to award-winning foreign correspondent and author of ‘Soldiers Don’t Go Mad’, Charles Glass. He discusses his new book focusing on the soldier-poets of World War One, such as Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, who recounted the horror and trauma of war through poetry. He also explores whether World War 3 has begun, as the Gaza genocide and Ukraine proxy war wage on, the New York Times’ restrictions on reporting on Palestine and their ‘abysmal’ reporting on Gaza, the widespread support for a Palestinian state in the US which is ignored by Congress and the political establishment, why Julian Assange is being persecuted by the USA and UK, and why he is the ‘bravest man he has ever met’, his visit to Belmarsh Prison and the state of Julian Assange’s health, his campaign to jointly sue former CIA director Mike Pompeo for bugging his mobile phones when he visited Julian Assange, the failure of Israeli propaganda as their rhetoric contradicts the reality on the ground in Gaza, the perilous future for the Middle East with the Gaza genocide still raging and Iran-Israel tensions at an all-time high, President Joe Biden’s hypocrisy on Tehran responding to Israel’s bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, and much more.
